No mate what did I miss? - I have deleted my entire inbox

It is the engine oil cooler because the dry sump tank is in the back.

I was having a sort out last weekend and came across a few pics of the old girl in blighty, then getting in the container and finally registered and on the road in Adelaide, thought you would like to see them.

Only hard copies sorry, the days before digital, regos removed. Hope you like

Hardly ruined Linc, its become the car I imagine most 3drs would aspire to end up as

Those pics were from 16 years ago, I was just so glad when I realised yours used to be ours, and that it had not ended up being wrapped around a stobie pole.

I may well take you up on that kind offer one day

Only a little update - fitted skeleton flywheel (4.8KG) and double grey diaphram twin ceramettalic plate 7.25in AP clutch (rated 440ft/lb) and finilised the gearbox adaptor. Used a SAAB 900 type hydraulic release bearing. No photo's as I went (damn) just the finished product.

Made a bunch of other little spacers for steering/suspension stuff.

Could you not off rolled the front guards to help with clearance instead of cutting Linc?

I rolled mine and gained about a good 8mm extra clearance.

Your engine is pretty much on par with mine throughout the rev range

Project has slowed down a lot - not died but close to. Bought it's nemesis to play with to keep me happy in the mean time. Working too much and house renovations have got in the way.
