Thanks Neil , "factory" was the intention from day 1 of the build , hopefully that will continue throughout the project where possible.

That little brass screw for the idle control is the only difference mate.

a 4wd one has just a grub screw adjuster and doesnt have the lock nut.

Im only using the 2wd one cos it was brand new! LOL

Had a Great meeting with Alex @ Pro Alloy this morning , we went over his ideas for the fuel tank and the filler neck , also the hard line boost hoses too.

Heres the cold side , nice and simple !







I wanted both sides to be symetrical , so although its not exactly "factory" it quite easily could be.

Hot side in progress !






And finally to the fuel tank , heres the tray that'll hold the tank up under the boot floor and thanks to Alex for modelling it into place for me )

Youll need twin pumps to feede that 500bhp motor up the front
I think the first time you can drive it with a little anger all the long nights spent on it are suddenly going to all seem worth it
