Good idea with the pedal box, cutting it up and making it a pull type as i think i may have to mod mine as i think it is too close but it is back as far as it can go so will have to see when it eventually drives, no major issue though
Good progress

Been waiting a while for parts far too long to be honest!, been informed from MK motorsport that my crossmember is finished so hopefully next week that and few other bits for fitting up all the front end running gear will arive at AG for them to finish off, then its off to Gaz for paint.
Ive given up on pushing to get it done as it has taken far too long as it is, been very close to breaking for various reasons but the final decision is to finish it, ive purchased a lot of parts over the past few months, im hoping the bug comes back once in paint.
Doesnt help purchasing a new home but got to get the priorities right to keep the missus happy, oh and a holiday in a months time
Hopefully soon there will be some updates.

We kept the pedal ratio the same, just swapped the pivots around.

If I was building a non Cossie powered shell I think I would like to use a modern alloy V8 - BMW M3 last of the N/A or something
