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 TT

Almost all the wiring / fuel feed / return pipes are temporary. I just needed to get a supply to get the engine running. I will build my own custom loom, and use braided fuel pipes secured with the approriate method.
I will strip the car when everything is fabricated for final assembly. I do not have much left over from the original 4x4 apart from the break master cylinder and abs controls +loom + final drive unit. The sump is the next job, i removed the 4x4 sump and used a standrd cologne 2 WD sump , but the bell house seems to have a big lump below.

Nice work.
Have you fastened the scuttle there? The reason i ask is because i can't decide where to line mine up - If i line up the front edge with the position in the book, then the back edge (dash side) seems to be too long. The bend in the side panel won't line up with the end of the scuttle.  But if i line up the bend in the side panel (near the chassis upright), then the front of the scuttle seems too wide.  (that's assuming the bend in the side panel will follow the angle of the chassis (at the upright) Hope that makes sense  How did you place yours? Also, anyone know the distance along the bottom edge of the bonnet? Cheers Dave
