    This things nuts, I'm really looking forward to seeing some panels back on it and looking like a nova again.

    Made the gearbox mount today subject to welding in the floor support and making the adapter bolt to the floor, but it’s enough for now.




    I’ve got room to fit a crush tube in the centre of the adapter (trapezium shaped part) which I may do yet.

    I then spent a couple of hours tidying up ready for engine to come back out, hopefully tomorrow!

    Engine came back out today. Now ready to rework the front end. Just need to decide how I want to do it before I start hacking away!

    I don’t, thats why everything is straight pieces where possible! Lol

    I think from memory, other than the initial custom cages main hoop, windscreen/roof bar, and a pillar posts, the only other bent tube is around the front turret tops and bulkhead to front cross member. Those I had to get bent for me.

    Ok, so it’s been a month since I updated and I’ve been working on it most days.

    I had a good offer on my Nissan s14a donor shell so needed to crack on getting remaining bits off I needed, but more importantly, making a new, better jig of the front end. What I discovered is that I had my tension rod brackets in the wrong alignment - glad I caught it now before I redid the front end! While changing the front end to correct that, I also decided I wanted to redo the turrets. I never liked where they sat as I had to take a chunk out of the wings like so...




    So I did some trig and worked out that moving the turrets inbound 30mm will take my camber from -1 to -4, about where I’ll likely run it. My top mounts of choice then have 3deg either way, so well within scope for what I need. So cue one over engineered, adjustable jig! (It’s made out of offcuts and scraps as getting more steel has been challenging!)







    And some one-piece cnc’d turrets currently being made...
