Looks good!

Not knowing about the way hillclimbing is organised - do you run in some sort of 'road car' class or is your car specifically motorsport prepped?

pritty much all 4 wheeled motorsport is govend and controled by the MSA. you can download the "blue" book from the MSA website and this will tell you every regulation for every form of car motorspot

if your car is road legal then you can drive in a "roadgoing" class where you only have to be complient with basic safety regs and equipment and there is also few diffrent groups within the roadgoing classes, almost all kits fall into the specialist production cars class but if you have a one off (less than 20 identical chassis with engines made over 1000 units) then you should be in a sports libra class

the MSA class a haynes in the same way as orignal locosts as identical chassis are possible to buy directly by the public (or have been) ready made and note its chassis not actual cars.

you need to mark ign swith off postion, mark battery earth and need to have a sealed bulkhead between you and engine and fuel tank.
only major thing i had to do was to move my brake fluid res as it has to be outside the drivers compartment and my one was half way in/out the bulkhead but i have a non book pedal box

you also need to be aware how local clubs/championships control there classes localy as some require windscreens or alow trackday style tyres
