Just picked up some new cam covers, plug cover and timing cover. This moves the oil breather to the back and will allow me to have a lower bulge in the bonnet. Will probably remove the stock breathers of this one and move it to the very back. Also need to machine a hole for the vvt on the front of the inlet cam on the pully cover then fab up a little dome for it.

Looks smart,
I have only just noticed the cam belt, I have seen narrower super charger belts!!! I bet the service interval is measured in laps of the planet rather than Miles.. TT

Been going nice and steady and have the back pretty much all welded now. Real happy that the chassis is pretty much sorted. I will be adding a 2nd set of 20mm diagonals on the side of the chassis from front to back. Dont know if it will help much but with the power and weight of the engine ect i think it would be a wise idea. After the rear is welded up i will flip the chassis and work on the under side. Im also going to be installing guessets the the under side box sections thare are not braced by a D eg where the floor is.
 Will also be removing the part above the front bellhousing and raising it 1inch to allow a big more space.

Little update.
Chassis is now upside down and being welded on the underside. Quite a few welds missed so going over the holes chassis just to make sure its all done. Anyone know when you cut out the bottom box section to make room for the gearbox? thinking while its upside down it would be a good idea to do it now. Or should i finish the steering support first? Picked up a granada steering column, v5, vin plates, paint plate, dif, number plates and a load of photos yesterday, so thats going to help in regards to age related plate ect. Anyhow hope you guys are all having a productive weekend on your roadsters! Last edited by Eternal : 25th July 2010 at 04:34 PM.

After talking to the guy i got the diff from he is selling me all the stuff i need from 1 car. The only thing i need to do is shorten the drive shafts a little. so from the same car i will have, dif, shafts, hubs,breaks, column, steering wheel, v5, vin plates, number plates, combine that with the "new" chassis its enough to get a age related plate. The other axle on ebay has been relisted, i payed for it to be put back up. So all is good i think
