cześć ! i have been busy today! shall be buying the steering rack next week hopfully :-) so it will all fall into place!!







Ps the wheels are not that colour ;-)

Michael

Fantastic well done!

righty o! thats the "running engine" installed and well i have allot of modifying to water pipes etc to make it run and there is some other mods that needs to take place , changed my sump from the flat pan to the saab sump but my clearence is, well..... limited! and i have a vectra sump i could try but thats only half an inch shallow'er .

I think a bash panel is in order to be made :p

what do you guys reckon?

Nice big chunky engine! Sump looks the same distance as my one around 50mm I will also be having a pan from. The steering rack the slopes down to the sump depth.

haha yeah tis a chunky lump aint it :p , yeah i was thinkng the same , maybe 4mm ally or something at a slope just so it will slide over bumps rather that going smack straight into the side! :)

Taking shape nicely.

Should have ditched the AC Compressor first though ;)

TT

thanks :-) ja! thats coming off dont you worry! and the pas pump too! i shall be mounting the alternator that side and will be getting a short belt :) i really need to get the traffic film remover on it! but with this daft hose pipe ban! :mad: :mad:

well.. thats the ac an pas pumps ditched! much more room! things are starting to look good :-) Fitted my tyres at college yesterday and my oh my!

wowzers... did a mess in my trousers ;-)

on das front are a set of yoko advan neova which i won for 60!! bargain!!
and on dee back are a set of toyo proxies t1r's ;-) £30!!

and my friend did the spraying on my wheels which im very happy with!they are in a kind of grey metalic, looks real nice when the sun hits them!







thats the rad fitted this morning :-) now to do the drivers seat and other bits i have missed i reckon.

does the height on the rad look ok to you guys ?


Mike

nice work so far bud....the rad does look too high ...the rads position is determined by trial fitting the nosecone as the rad sits inside of it.

does this look ok?
 

hey all what do you all reckon to this



i will weld the rearward nut so that is locked and will lock it off with a nyloc nut, and obviously fully weld it all including the bolt to the plate.

and as for the rad it is far far far to high! so that will be coming down 3 inches or so!! :p
