Awesome news man. Love to see a picture of the engine bay all plumbed in!

What route are you taking for the exhaust? Custom stainless? Jigsaw of other exhausts?

Custom build, going to try and go for something special.

Will try and get pics and video when I can.

New photo of the engine with plumbing.

Custom pedal box is in and working nicely with the hydraulic clutch.

The car now runs and drives, needs a bit of a clean, then it's time to weld in the new seat rails (which are in the post right now) and she's ready for MOT :D

How’s the motor running? Plenty of pop?

Was good, unfortunately head gasket went, so that's being fixed at the moment. Fingers crossed.

Quick post to say the engine's in and working. Passed the MOT without too much issue, then blew a head gasket (partly due to some brake issues). All fixed now and driven to Ant's place for paint.

The adjustable Spax suspension is really nice to work with, adjustable ride is a welcome addition.
