Hi Guys,

Done a lil more work over the last few days..

Got my cross member, anti rollbar, gearbox mount powder coated

Mounted my engine to the cross member







Also had enough time today to mount my Quaife gearbox to the engine



Only issue was that I have a hydraulic clutch and i need to do a slight mod to the gearbox to get the cylinder to sit properly.. Gearbox will be mounted to the Engine tomorrow
