The underside detail tacked up with rose joint and uniball in place

Next job was to start making the front cross member bracket which was quite fiddly to work out where the holes needed to be to line up properly

not very clear but I'm using a bit of rod in the various holes to work out if its all ok

Thats it for today
Great stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing what your up too. You've got some nice toys to play with in your workshop :D
Nice upgrades CP. These are the kind of things I wish I was doing to my car.
Hope it works out well.
Could you upload the pics of the exhaust manifold again? :)
Hmm must have expired. I think I may have deleted them as I have changed phones recently. Is something desperate cos they are gonna get reposted elsewhere soon?
Which neatly brings me to the subject of the next lot of pics. Ok I'll hold my hands and admit I've cheated but an opportunity presented itself that doesn't arise very often and I succumbed and agreed terms to purchase the following - its not the darkside but very nearly.... enjoy... this is pure porn

Well I think I can say (without counting my chickens too early that thats pretty much my engine problems sorted:eek: lol
Thats a damn fine looking engine there! Probably goes alright too. Did it come with a white nova attached or is that something else?
you bought that all complete, as pics? or is that the new engine wearing your old 1.4 anchilleries??
tis a looker tho.. 1.8?
Not a 1.8, that would be too close to that evil 2....... I was never confused!
This little package was worth four of us driving to somewhere way up in Northland on a 8.5hr round trip! Makes me go all tingly seeing the photos again.

Dry-sumped C16XE with throttle bodys? nice.
