Yes. It is rather an odd shape!!
It is a bit 
Did you build it yourself?
Tis where my Black on Black came from.
Hi there Lucky P!! It's Dave the new owner. Finally got round to registering on Pistonheads.
The project is still going well but changing the NG3 to the UN1 box is getting a bit more involved than I first thought it would. The driveshaft adaptors have different sized splines, the mounts can't be adapted and the bellhousing is fouling the main chassis crossmember so I'll probably have to move the fuel tank somewhere else (pobably not a bad thing though). Most of it was to be expected and will be worth it in the long run. Although they do look a bit wierd. Maybe a restyling project next......
I'll mail you pics as the project goes along.
Other bits are going well though, the adaptor plate seems to line up ok, I've managed to grt hold of an Omex ECU for the engine and a new stainless tubular manifold for the turbo to go on- shiny! As soon as I can get the gearbox mounted the chassis is being powder coated again as I think a previous owner may have used it in the rain a bit. Once that's done it can go back together again. I'm giving myself a target of early April and might book a trackday late April as an incentive.
I've seen pics of your Ultima, awesome piece of kit.
