    So more progress has happened.

    Axle now 95% complete. Brakes on so just need new handbrake cables and then just to pack the rear bearings with grease.

    Rear brake lines are on, just a few adjustments required. Not as straight as I wanted them but will do the job.

    Gearbox cleaned up and new release bearing fitted. Also torqued up the mount so just waiting on replacement reverse switch.


    Engine now off the stand and new clutch and pressure plate on. This is the closest it has got to actually being in the engine bay.

    Now the engine is ready to go in and finish being built up, is it easier I fit the gearbox and lift it to the car or do it separately?
    There is no crane available to do this so will be jacked up from below.

    With it being on axle stands I can lower the front so won't need far to travel. Cheers Charlie

    Looks almost there now inside.



    Expecting engine to go in on Saturday so I can finish building the front end up.
    Just finished stone chipping the rear arches so now just needs under sealing and painting.

    Pushing for September, got a week off around the middle of the month so it gives me chance to fix any issues.

    So got the gearbox attached this afternoon. That was hard work doing that so not looking forward to putting it in tomorrow in this heat. Hopefully there’s 3 of us to do it. For some reason it looks small in the picture but it’s a tight squeeze around those tie rod arms!
