Engine and gear box mated , now ive modified adapter plate

same

new inner ali panels lh side

right side

had rads repaired as you can see theres a hole also had them reverted so they are handed now

this annoyed the hell out of me grrr, i paid well over the odds for these tanks and apparently that included this mod. so they are now scrapped

hole is too low so pipe work didnt seal , hole was bodged (this leaves a bad taste!!)

last time ill ever see them

found a great craftsman called john who made me 2 ali tanks at a much better price (Thanks John)

Ali tanks fitted, much nicer job and i dont have to worry about loosing 16 gallons on the road.

covered now

gear lever and mechanism from a Mitsubishi FTO fits sweet as a nut

this is my swirl pot John also made to my drawing , work of art :)

John also remade my Ali covers for me out of stainless, looks nicer and will withstand the elements better

other side

ok now to fit the dash , dreading this

as if by magic its now done have done a load of cutting and will do a load more before its finished

will need to buy digital dash soon also will mount brake reserviours under this, its all removable but will mod a lot more before im done

this is a work of art, test fit for grill John made from stainless

will now advice him were i want the fixings
