Have you thought about getting shut of the big bar between the pedal and the servo?
You'll be able to mount the servo directly onto the back of the pedal box in this

Looking good mate! not long now,

Just saw this comment on the old video (assume the previous owner), made me laugh lol

1. you can't drive
2. your slowly destroying a future classic
3. you need to stop trying to show off as your shit at it
and 4. An rst in that condition should go to someone who will actually look after it not an overgrown boy racer tosser.
Reply lol

1. ur a cock
2. the car was a nail
3. it wasnt as much of a nail as ur mum
4. tell ur mum the fivers on the fridge
Rob,

this was my old car & those were my comments on you tube lol

the car handled crap as had stock suspension etc, it was all pretty much stock appart from engine in the back so it was never gonna hadle any good

i think all tyhe suspension/spring set up has been changed now so maybe ok???

i brough the car built from bedford way (iirc)??
boys had built it with an xr3i engine in it & then converted to turbo but gave up so i finished it off & sold it on

should be an animal when done & defo differnt

looks the bollox now, good luck with the build
