Fantastic work ! If you carried out conversions for people I'm sure you'd have a regular flow of business!
Very ambitious project - liking it alot.
Question - what do you think it will handle like and how are you getting the rear suspension sorted?

Got a chance to do some bits over the last week or so....
Some home made brackets for the radiator's.
Both radiators using the brackets. (The front one is for the charge cooler)
Fitted to the motor.
Just testing to see if the fans fit ok.
Fitted the fuel pump and lines.
Fitted the pedals and the clutch cable.
Been putting some bits back on the engine too.
And the doors and bonnet....
Dont know which seats to use?????
Or
I think i will use the black one as they are FIA approved.
Gonna do the loom next......
