cheers for the comments guys.
Ha i know it is quite tight but i can get them out...just.
Nope not really drag racing, just a bit of fun for the road, when i first built it i was running a 1700 crossflow but then went in search for more power and came up with this,

You sir have some fine skills. A clean looking sleeper which should fly.
Wasn't suprised to see it's a cover car. Lovely build, I'll be following this thread.

first time i've seen the pictures for this thread (viewing on my phone last week) & the quality of everything is very impressive sir. My bro used to have a 300e company van with a 2.0 Pinto & i couldn't fit in the thing becuase of the lack of leg room, & you've moved the bulkhead back :hail: lol

Aren't the current guidelines on alterations to standard chassis now not deemed possible/allowed? I know of cars running different engines recently built looking standard from the outside which are not deemed appropriate for an MOT due to current guidelines. It may be because of Spaceframe tubing in section under stadard panels but I would check just to make sure as you have put a lot of work in which looks amazing by the way. The downpipe looks like the one I made with the flange uncut in shape and left round lol.

In that situation, an SVA, or whatever it'e now called, would make the car legal wouldn't it?

cheers for the replies.
When i did my last engine swap i didnt have any issues so should be okay but yes i have heard of some people getting the cars inspected by garages or having the sva test, dont think ive got anything to worry about though

Lol, Mate was on about that at work the other day. He said exactly the same about his :D
Reminds me of my 70' VW Camper. The screen washers ran off the spare wheel on the front. Little pipe from the tyre valve, Through the front and pressurised the water bottle when you press the peddle. :D

drilled the holes
and started playing about with some bends. The bore size is 3" :shock:
also this is the gear stick i made 
[/quote]
standard dual mass
new light weight number
new rs flywheel bolts and clutch bolts
ap cosworth 6 paddle clutch plate
volvo 850r heavy duty cover plate
t5 hydraulic clutch kit
got the exhaust all tig welded up 
new exhaust bolts and gaskets, may as well have walked in with my trousers down for these :oops:
also finished the door panels, just got the rear firewall to do and finish the carpet
..... 
:sad3:
also going to hopefully have the gearbox rebuilt next week and get the prop made to suite so its getting there. Still lots ive got to get, the last install of the year will be all the water and boost hoses, that will be it for this year, come january/feb all the oil and fuel system will be purchased and march/ april i should be able to afford the vipec v88 ecu and custom loom... hmmmm sounds so easy when you say it like that :wall:
