Mark, the outside will get sprayed once the car is rolling again

It will cheer me up so much to see it done, been trying to get to that stage for months

Today I picked up my Tremec TKO600 gearbox, with modded T5 bell housing!

Saw the car also, and the rear arch is already welded in!

Danny, very happy so far mate, providing we do everything as agreed I'm happy, no worries I'll be over tomorrow to get some pics

Glenn, once the car is back, not much will be done for a while, it gets done when it gets done

A pic of the Tremec box:

Cheers Jason, not seen you for a while mate, hope all is well?

Scotty, cheers

Miller, my mate has just got a straight cut box, he has only driven it round the block a few times, and he is already moaning about the noise not for the road IMO! If you're RWD it's easy, Tremec or Getrag


UPDATE:

Today I went to Danny's, watched a bit of work being done on the car, and just went through things with Danny, Trevor and Steve. I took quite a few pics for people too

Tomorrow the ramp should be working, and progress should be fast then!

There is some welding needed, but over all, Danny etc commented on how solid it is really

Car on the ramp:





Both arches needed attention:







Along with both seat mounts, one wasn't too bad, but just cut both right out to eliminate all rot:






And a bit of rot around the front turrets cut out:




More to follow over the next few days!
