Due to work commitments not much got done on the car last year, it was nearly broken up but luckily Ad chose to stick it out and with another year starting it seemed a good enough reason to finally get it done.
The engine and box was dropped in last year, a few other bits were trial fitted but that was about it.
First problem come around when I fitted the tie bars and found the drivers one was catching the exhaust manifold, a smaller tie bar was fitted but it was still far too close so that was one thing that definately had to be sorted.
In this pic you can see the problem:

Considering the cost of a new manifold it was out of the question to have another made so a custom tie bar setup seemed the best route, sadly the only off the shelf option is ?1000 which is designed with rallying in mind, really not needed on this car.
Even though with the thinner tie bars fitted you only gained about 1mm gap, it was no way safe enough as these have been known to break, this could lead to a rather nasty accident.
I know of someone who was making something to similar to what I needed so I asked him to make me a set.
They sit miles away from the manifold now so that could now be fitted.

Before the manifold was fitted It needed to be heat wrapped, I used Thermo Tec wrap, 50 foot and another 25foot further down the manifold.
Its the first time I've used any and god damn it makes you itch lol, full of fibreglass or similar which ends up all over you !
Finished result:

I need to order some new bushes for the wishbones then I can get it back on its wheels with some brakes.
Hopefully next month we'll get everything else for the fuel system then its ready to run.
It will use a 1.5litre external swirl pot in the boot with the fuel lines in car.
