Yeah I agree, it doesn't look to have the transmission tunnel yet.
For me it'd have to be a grunty turbo V8

the front and rear cossie beams are in "sort of", the rear turrets need some work to take the gaz coilovers once i get all that done i'll cut the bulkhead and floorpan to take the new tunnel once i've got the v8 engine in place...so plenty to do
