also as it used to be an auto, i had to source a clutch pedal. so hunted down a chevette pedal box, and it was a perfect fit, so changed the auto brake pedal (wider and more central) for a manual brake and clutch pedal. it fits perfect, and i havent got to alter the shell at all. win

its just 60 x 40 x 2.5 and then 4 x 100mm castors.
ok so today me and a friend put the XE into the chevette. it was certainly tight at times lol.
we put it in engine and box together, through the top as there is a cross member below.
we checked and checked to make sure its 7 degrees with a piece of wood cut to 7 degrees and a spirit level and all is perfect.
sorry no pics before it went it.
engine in and starting to get it over to 7 degrees.

martin, i can get a carlton water pipe setup, which feeds to the front, seen as your water pipe is going round the back of the engine.
That looks lush :)
