Well today we were hoping to get the rad/intercooler/prop/diff mounted up, plumb the ancillaries in, tidy up the opening in the floor where the new gearstick is and do a bit more wiring, and possibly get the brakes on.
First off, Ians made a bracket to mount the box on, that all went together sweet,


then it all went tits up.
The rad fits snugly, but the intercooler was miles out. Ended up having to chop 2" off the front slam panel to get it to fit Hopefully, we can either re-make the cooler mounts and/or modify the intercooler (a Forge RS500 intercooler)

afer getting pretty fucked off about having to do that, the diff went up. All 4 holes for the diff mount were nearly an inch out. So we need to cut/modify/re-weld the Grp A Diff mount.
And then the 'piece de resistance'
Come to fit the prop, after Ian being a spoon and trying to bolt the donut on upside down, we got that mounted, only to find that there's a 3" thick piece of structural floor cross member in the way of it

That part of the floor needs to be cut level to the two holes.

So progress has now halted temporarily while we chop, plate, weld and re-paint the underside of the car.
Oh, and the steering column mount needs moving an inch to the right as the wheel is offset to the left

But hey, at least the rear discs got fitted




Got the clutch plumbed in too, and its looks spot on, feel nice through the pedal too

Glad I missed most of the day doing foreigners
