Very nice work so far! Loving that IM

I now have the glovebox in so will get some photos it does kind of render the glovebox almost useless but keeps the engine bay nice and tidy too

[dude8383]

Can we see some more photos of your brake booster setup? That pretty much eliminates any possibility of having a glove box right?

Really nice swap!!

Finally the last little bits turned up so i was able to put the inlet manifold back on and start buttoning up the engine bay side of things.

Cant decide wether to run the engine cover or not....may just put it on sometimes for show appeal and to appease the enthusiast's.

Also got my wheels finalised and ready for tyres really pumped to get the tyres on and get them on the car. Getting close to firing now.

beauty!

Spent some time tidying a few things up, finally has a full interior (which i now have to strip as i dont seem to be getting power from the battery to the front of the car?????)

Sorted my glovebox out so it closes and covers the booster, will get some pictures of the setup soon.
Made up my new oil filter lines and mocked up coolant reservoir and airbox.
Also took the opportunity of some sunshine to push it out of the shed and get a better idea of the final product, wheels are sitting better at the front with 20mm spacers.

A couple of small parts to go and hopefully will have a start up in the next week or so.

As you can see finally got the motor in....after a lot of struggle trying to get the motor in and cursing and swearing i pulled the motor out and it sat on the floor for a few weeks while i reconsidered my plan of attack.

I ended up stripping the motor to a bare block so i could get the motor in position as the engine mounts i have sit the motor quite far back so after deleting the heater hoses i managed to squeeze it in.

Seeing as the motor and trans was in and had finalised the fitting of the shifter, driveshaft and the driveshaft hoops i felt the need to put the car back together to see what the potential final package may look like.
Hartge wheels are still waiting to finally be put together then i can fit them on the car also.
Hopefully will get some more done on this over the weekend and get closer to that start up :)

Looking good, can't wait to hear it start up!

Bit of an update, the ball is starting to roll now.

[WYZEUP]

Got my brake system plumbed up over the weekend, got two small hard lines left to make.

Also fitted up and temporarily painted my bodykit minus the skirts (away being repaired)
Considering going for a panda look on this (paint the bottom half of the door and gaurds black to match) until it gets painted
So pumped to see this car back on the ground again soon.







other wheels lips are on their way. should hopefully have them put together by the end of the week :D

It is a great piece of kit to allow to keep boosted brakes. A real PIA to fit and run all the lines etc with the body loom running through that area also. Will post some photos soon.

Will be interested to see how it pulls up as we have quite strict laws over here to get everything legal, has to preform 5 x 0-100-0 without too much brake fade.

Hopefully will have the brake system completed this weekend so i can get it all pressure tested and get the engine installed for the last time.
