      A-ha! Are you sure the engine should be in the midlle or are they originally? I doubt it a bit. If the prop is straight and front drive shafts have their required play I wouldn't care if the engine isn't in the center.

          gearbox and prop all where there suppose to be, never had to check to see if an engine was in the middle before tho so never had to worry about it!!!

            Sounds like maybe it has to be offset then?
            have you tried PMing one of the guys who's done this conversion before, Wab? maybe they would know for sure?

            motorgeek.com I think is where they're at!!

                Cant you just nudge the engine over 20mm towards the drivers side then?

                jk/

                Can you elaborate a bit more on which orientation the engine is out of kilter in mate?? (Am I right in thinking you mean a tilt of 20mm to the passenger side??)

                Are you in a position to test fit the driveshafts and measure to a fixed point on chassis from the end of each to see if distance is the same?

                      He is busy selling jap crap and fixing cabriolets in his spare time, while looking after prancing horses for his real job.
                      Normal service will resume after he has sold the jap crap.

                                Are your panels straight? or need some work?
                                If its just to paint would be around £300.
