Been doing this car for a while now. Comes back from painting tomorrow. Its RS2000 with steel bubble arches, 4 linked, turreted, 500bhp rated rear axle, gaz coil overs, discs all round, wilwood calipers, full roll cage etc. Just got some 15 x 8" genuine minilites with 225,50,15 tyres. Engine is running T34, greens, 3 bar map etc. has been recorded at 358 bhp.
Here's some pics, will post more when it comes back from painting and i've put the wheels on.

this looks exactly like mine!!!!!!!!! check out restorations and rebuilds to compare!! looking good fella!!!

 

Does look just like yours. Cant wait til Monday as i'm fitting the engine and box in. All work is done, just putting back together and building back up to do.
Will post more pics Monday when more progress is made.

 

do we even have the same wheels????? lol!! just updated mine with a couple of today,s pic,s and hopefully be running by friday!! keep up the good work fella!

 

Hi guys
Engine is now in, sorted where all wires go. Fitting gearbox and prop tomorrow. Should be running by the end of the week.

here's some more pics.

 

I have been working on the car all evening. If you look at the pics of the engine, it sits slightly to the right and not in the middle. I have turned the engine mounts round the other way so the right one is the left one etc. but this throws it out completely. I am baffled as to why the engine sits to the right as other mk1's i've seen that are running cossie engines sit in the middle. I have a world cup crossmember and wondered if my mounts might be wrong. Can anyone help?
thanks
John

 

hi john i,m also running a wccm but with uprated urethane centre,s and home made steel engine mounts, not by me tho as they came with the wccm when i bought it. i,ll ask glynn tomorrow as he,s fitted my engine to see if he can help ya out mate! also mate, where are ya based?? as i,d like to compare when we,ve both finished! i live in luton bed,s

 

uv got way too much time on ur hands lol

 

Never mind, i made some new engine mounts this morning. Engine is now in properly aqnd sitting where it should. Gearbox ios in, windscreen is back in. Pedal box is in but not connected. Coming along nicely now. Wont be long!!!!

 

Woops!! I put the wrong picture up, this is the one i meant to upload.

 

well done john!! i too hope to be running at the weekend mate!! keep up the good work lad!!

 

My mate is also doing one and had the same problem with engine out of alignment, turned out to be Crossflow mounts, you may have the same ones?? just a thought.

 

I love this stuff (Old Skool Cossie transplants ) I hope one day I get the time/space/skills to do this myself.

Well done its looking good ... I'll enjoy watching this come together.

 

Looks like a fun project. Old school rocks right? See you at the streets once it is finish. Goodluck man..
