not done an update in a while as ive been very busy doing stuff with work which has been spilling into my spare time...but was feeling a little guilty so decided to get some hours in on it this week.

finished off mounting the diff up. both the lowwer mount and rear brace mount are detachable otherwise i cant actually get the diff out if i need to. or should i say when i need to.





also need to turn the dummy engine into a show engine next week which means i loose the use of it hence why i kind of had to crack on while it was still available.

got the main engine mounts in....




top cross braces to stop it twisting off the lower mounts..




going to have to run more boost as the larger pulley wont currently clear the lower wishbone mount....more boost hey.....thats a shame



also had to get the pedal box case in. been putting this off for a while so nice to finally have it finished.

was easier to just cut the whole old one out.



then start remaking in 1.6mm steel sheet








you can see here why i have mounted the engine the way i have..i really dont want it moving very much with the clearance i have..





so currently starting to look a little bit like a car again if you close one eye and squint a little bit






next job is to sort out the steering column and then start thinking about making the actual pedal box.
