Adaptor mounts are cheap enough now to warrant not bothering with it. Also you'd have the scope to put a smallblock back in again if you ever needed to.

Right, Ive instructed the missus to ring Mr Astley in the morning.

Getting 2.0 fitting kit and the arb lowering blocks, considered the plating kit and the strut tops but decided against. Reasons, firstly I want this project to be cheap and I'd rather put the cash towards a mig welder.

Good man, personally i dont believe the plating kit is at all needed on a road going car, be it track or road (unless you start running uber powered LETs or are planning on some stage rallies!)

great colour

Right, the missus spoke to Mr Astely today and the conversion parts should be with me Wednesday latest! Excellent stuff!

Cant wait to drive it, so come the weekend I'll be covered in welding burns.

Cheers for the comments guys!

Yes, spot on!

Cheers mate.

Right, with help from burgo I modified/strengthend the gearbox mount. Im gonna head up to screw fix tommorow and buy a mig welder.

Been spending too much time at the pub and not enough time on the car, so tommorow I will be welding up that bay!

Heres some pics of the engine mount...

Without Chris Astley kit - you can see the areas I carefully and very accuratly chopped out with an angle grinder!

And with the kit. No nuts - dunno if these are supposed to be supplied or am I being silly and it just bolts straight to the chassis?
