im a mad man weilding a cossie AXe
hehehe
wont be too bad on space:
remember the front inner wings are being cut out too and replaced with something like this:
Im gonna be dropping of the engine to the dudes building my car and they will be able to advise on different bits and peices needed. Theres still a lot of fabrication to be done - diff tunnel, rear subframe, front hoop, and then fitting all the suspension and wheels. Still on target for completion at the end of Feb, cant wait!!

This makes me wish i went through with my RWD VTS Turbo'd AX til it was finished! the joys of owning that car were amazing!!
got th eengine in place and was ready for the turbo conversion to take place at Garage Kamikaze, then i sold her on to a m8 who stripped it to bits for a Stock Car
Good luck with this one m8, cant wait to see this finished!

Rear subframe is nearly complete but could not take any photos of it cos its being built off site.

Craker of a project.
That last spark plug isn't gonna be an easy replacement tho. Looks like it sits under the scuttle a touch? Will the plug lead miss the scuttle as well?
