Nice one mate. At least you had enough weight behind it when richie turned up.

Looking good. I am guessing most of the Sierra Floor pan has gone now.

no my old 110v metabo grinder is still going strong Ian .
i am going to raise the engine by approx 30mm to get some better drive shaft angles & when i raised the rear of the tunnel i thought i had enough room to leave the front end but i was wrong ,the plus side is it will give me more room to get the box & exhaust up inside the tunnel so i can still put a flat panel over the tunnel .
