Default Great days progress



Had a great day in the workshop today, it's almost looking like a car! This is the Mk1 dashboard, the second version with have a Digital Speedo Dash Gauge RX2n 10k and cutouts for the footwells.



Machined up the old Sierra clocks and inserted a peice of perspex, at least everything is usable now the first test drive!

Don't happen to have the 4x4 steering rack and track control arms do you?


Engine looks like it went in fairly well.

Have you chopped the sump?
And what was with the reverse mount alternator?

Cheers
