    Okay where were we..

    Oil pan bolted to the engine and it still fits, couple of small additions need to be done before I can say it's complete. Oil stick will be attached with AN fitting, as easy as it gets:


    I ordered a batch of AN12 fittings and hose for IC water lines and oil breather lines (yeah I already welded stupid hose fittings in the breather can so I need to change them):


    Had to push the car out while cleaning the garage, notice my nice new wheels:

      Some pictures before I cleaned the garage, the reason why I have now worked with the car outdoors:




      Today the driver side rear quarter looked like this, soon getting ready for molding. Front fenders are almost done too, some minor spots that I'm not happy with, but after all it's going to be a race car, so...




      Batch of these were sold out quite quickly, so if any of you M20/M30 builders are interested send me a PM or contact via facebook, new batch is coming. Also there will be a U.S. vendor for these :)

        Bodywork fabrication continues, driver's side is already quite good. I remade the side skirt model which is much simpler, lighter and should work better. I'll take a picture for the next post.

        Before I cut the hood I made a tunnel for the radiator, all the air goes in front bumper and then exits the hood vent, should be effective enough.






        I tried to remain some orginal body shapes yet not forgetting functionality.

            It sure is :-)

            I spent few days with the hood before our holidays, to be continued next week. To perceive the next part of the puzzle I already cut the front bumper in pieces

                  Thanks Z28!

                  econti: Just the engine oil cooler (+ simple powersteering fluid cooling loop) will be mounted in front of the radiator, you can see the mounts in earlier pictures. Intercooler still sitting behind the engine in cabin side :)

                        How are you getting oil pickup to the rear sump?

                          LJ851: I'll make a completely new oil pump back plate and pickup pipe, pictures on previous page..

                          Soon it's time for updates.. Tomorrow I should be able to lay some fiberglass to front bumper, currently it's riveted together with sheet metal pieces. Spending my holidays from work so I've got time to make some progress hopefully :)

                          I got some interesting parts in my hands lately, makes me rethink my front setup

                            So... the front bumper. This is how it looked with sheet metal "mold", quickly threw together for next step:


                            Some fiberglass laid behind, total 4-5 layer was used to get enough stiffness:


                            Took off the sheet metal parts and this is the result, next some filler..
