Another update, it`s moving along slowly my main aim is to get all the welding done and strip the car for paint, then i`ll feel like im getting somewhere.
Finished things are.
1 The bulkhead is welded up.
2 All three polyurethane engine mounts are done including the snub mount.
3 The six speed gear linkage is installed and works.
4 The home made wishbones are installed and have their own little frame in the boot.

And there`s a whole load more to do but i wont make the reply too long.












I`ll keep the updates coming!

Ok now just a few more pics, i took the engine out removed the subframe and modified the back gearbox mounts which basically moves the engine back 1.5" which makes it sit a lot better in the engine bay. The drive shafts are pushed back a little but i think it will be an ok comprimise and i also had to modify the subframe a little as you can see in the pics so that the sump doesnt hit it.
I orderd the polyurethane engine mounts from deemon tweeks which arrive soon then i can get on with mounting it solid and i hopefully will be retaining the snub mount. i also noticed when fitting the bumper that there is no room at all to fit a FMIC i have a few choices tho, one is to fit a double intercooler one in each wing and a crossover pipe in the bumper cavity or to fit a compact chargecooler unit or water injection or a combination of the above the radiator is going in the boot so was never a problem.
A few other things have been added on like the power steering rack, pedal box and steering rack which went in with a little bit if fiddling. The brake resovior just to say fits under the brace in the engine bay wich is nice .
Next on the list to do is fit all the pipework for the power steering, build the bulkhead up which i started around the pedal box fit the engine mounts and the gear linkage and the top mount plates are ready to go on with the spherical bearings installed.
