Ah cheers guys your too kind.

It's not on the same level or standard as rally or touring cars but I'm pretty happy with the ways it's turning out just taking 2/3 time longer than I planned.

Been busy last few weeks weddings birthdays and holiday next week so managed to finish up few bits.

Ready to get it rolling

Temp gearbox mount.

Watts tower and link bars mocked up.

Four link boxes tied into main hoop to stop movement.

And the watts tower and link bars fitted.

So that's the rear end 99% done.

Cheers morgs I'm well happy with them and they look feel very good quality too.

Emerald K6 ECU ordered just bit more research about what wires I'll need for the loom.

Front suspention should be here tomorrow rear tower Wednesday and few other bits to do on the frame just to tie it all together and but the end on the month the car should be on its wheels rolling engine and box fitted ready for next stage in the build.

And now the engine been stripped of all it's useless bits and shinny new bits fitted thought I would try it back in the bay.

And with the two trumpets.

Well got in from work today to find a letter from parcel force opens it up please pay your duties and vat on items.

Wana guess???

If you look back at the engine trial fitment the engine will be behind the Xmember so the headers stick in the bulk head.

Hence turning them round so I can fit a large box I front the engine with Xover pipes then exit in front or behind front wheels.

Just pulled some of the ugly off the engine and tried on the headers.

They was tight on the studs but a little fettling will sort that at least I know they will face for word now.

Also few bits I don't need for sell

Standard headers

Inlet complete with spacer.

A/C pump PAS pump and alternator.

Yeah mate it had to be done really.

Spoke to a mate about emerald ECU too he said he get me a good deal on one so I'll be doing that too so the thing will be fully RR/live mapped to get the best out of the engine. Also there new ECU's have a dash switch for three levels of mapping.

Last night I set out the rear struts as today my mate is coming up with his tube bender so we can make the cage.
