Just a small update:

I've made up the lower gearbox mount but not taken any pictures. I've also dropped the gearbox off at a local place to have the diff and final drive from the old box fitted into it, along with these:

MFactory 3rd, 4th and 5th gear which should drop the top speed down to 110-115mph depending on the tyre size. Doesn't sound a lot but more than enough for most rallies and should help the car along a bit. You rarely used to get out of third or fourth so this should help make the post of the few ponies it's got.

I've also bought the warning lights for the dash, some materials to make the interior rear quarter trim panels and dash board inserts and arranged to have a new loom made, so things are getting there.

Once the gearbox is back, that will be fitted so then the shafts can go in, along with the alternator, exhaust rad etc etc.

More to come soon.
