Lots of other goodies had arrived from him though (some pics will follow tomorrow), so I had a fitting kit! Then it was just a case of hoping and praying the dodgy old roof beams would support a car, and then an engine lol
Anyway, boring engine fitment pics follow, as well as half my fuel system which i fitted this morning.
About to be slid under...

More to follow tomorrow, i was allowed a full weekend this week lol
Today, Mr Ernie popped over with a wad of cash after selling his GTe and bought my half cage from the blue one for the STICK. Then we trundled off to purchace a trailor for him in Bath.
On the way he happened to mention he had a brand new inlet gasket hanging on his garage wall! So after we dropped off his trailor and cage, we bogged off back to the barn and carried on plumbing the engine in.
Pretty much all done now, all thats missing is the Rad, a manifold, one fuel pipe and the harness!

Id forgotten how tight it was getting the Alternator on, and because Im a fool, i put the bodies on first lol Nothing like grazed knuckles to show you put some graft in, thats what I always say! Anyway, the cutout did its job, and it fits nice and snug.

I also fitted my seats but in the wrong place, so ill have to drill more holes next time im up there lol
Big thanks to Dar and Chris for their help this weekend!
i managed to put alternator in from underneath. just disconnect the o/s track rod and you can push it right up in there with no hassle. took bout 5mins to get it all in. thats if your taking the thing out again!:thumb:
anyway been looking at this thread and i can say bt that your track weapon is coming along very nicely and doesnt look to far from being fineshed. good luck with the rest of the progress lokking forward to seeing more pics:D
I quite enjoyed putting that engine in with you. Now that the ciggies arn't in full flow im enjoying winding you up and watching you go lol
Nice work BT
Did a bit of mincing today, got my seats bolted in properly, drilled holes for the harness points and also put all the engine harness in.
I also bolted in the battery box, and made a strap using the now defunct middle lap belt. That should stop it clouting me in the bonce if i 'Do A Hear5ey' LOL. It should also keep the scrutineers happy if i take it sprinting this year!
