Merlin engined Merc

[Big Fat Fatty]

Right then, I posted a pic of my current work in progress in another thread on the forum. I thought I would start a fresh one and show you all where I am with it at the moment. I can't take credit for the idea of using this engine in a car as it's been done many, many times before in scratch built chassis' but my main inspiration is one of PPC mags staff project cars

some build photos here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=245...
The engine is pretty much in and mounted, the transmission tunnel is finished and the ride height is set although only dry fitted for now. I need to tidy it all up and start on the interior before I prep it for paint.



I know there will be some who object to the choice of car for this build but for me it's all abou the engine. Hope you like it
