While Dan has been sorting the engine out, and trying to work out the small problem he hit with the crank getting caught on something when spinning... (water pump?) i have been a busy boy... heres the pics..

Its not yet finished but ALOT of fabricating work is on the list....





Wooden Template, what a mission that was to create:


First under-strength:












Marking out on the 3mm steel sheet:


Underside:








Had to slice in half to get it in, but has all been sanded down now and looks smooth 1 piece.. dont have pics that far up but have these:















More pics coming soon!

Front dash cage bar has also been done and a few more goodies have been added to my list of stuff to buy!

was wondering when i saw the box if orignally doing it for weight saving, but i guess now theres potential to really drop it on its arse?

you had any luck with the crank/oil pump yet?

Yes think the oil pump / crank turning problem has been sorted. Think it just needs to wear itself in being new and all.

Graham, you think its mental now lol....

Broster - Simply didnt want it all flat and it meant alot more work and loads more box section... i wanted to keep the shape of the floor mainly anyway and im very happy how it has turned out...

Now can you hurry the fook up and get me a price for fuel system!


FAZ - Awesome mate, cheers!
