Not updated this for a while!

I’ve had the engine in and out I don’t know how many times to get it sitting perfectly. Engine mounts are all welded on now. Just the front of the tunnel to finish off and can get the engine bay blasted again and in some primer!

Not been on here in a while. Here’s the most recent pic. Been busy with a few other things but hopefully I’ll be able to crack on with this very soon.



My plan to to totally change the back end now. I think I’ll be using an mx5 rear subframe instead of the current set up

Thanks guys.

Really needing to pull my finger out with it though. Quite often find myself going to the garage to work on it then end up procrastinating haha

Yeah I guess so technically. Unsure what’ll happen if I don’t send it for a test though confused

Not updated this in a while (mostly due to me not doing very much with it)

Got the engine back in again today, still need to remove a little more metal from the bulkhead to get the transfer box to fit. Either that or pull the whole engine forward half an inch. Forgot to take pics.

I’ll probably just get the car sva tested to keep it all legal then. Don’t particularly want a q plate though.

No, not finished. With this car being a gsi, I decided to put a new floor into it and bulkhead etc etc so it’s a standard car again. All the parts from this shell have went into another one.

My plan is to finish the standard car then get on with this one. Standard one is ready to be put back together now. Been a lot of work get the the new floor in etc etc
