Bravo sir, a year my minor and you are doing things I couldn't imagine tackling myself. Keep up the good work.

[Mike The Bavarian]

I forgot about this build. I like that you seam welded the front end! should help tighten things up abit.

Im so glad my mechanic is a recent immigrant from sweden, where he was an aircraft engineer. You people can build anything i swear! Cant wait for more updates

Hi my friends ;)

It was a while ago. Much to write about and ofcourse to answer your question Jonsku ;)

Hang on, a update will soon be here..

I think you guys is going to like my new front brakes ;)

[Jonsku]

Hey that's great!

Try to fit the hood with the plastic cover on the engine and couple of millimeters more space between the subframe and oilpan.. ;) And then try fitting the coolant reservoir.. You sure the engine sits straight in there, how much space is there in the gearbox tunnel?
Sorry to ask so much, just interested! :)

Is there any chance the steering rack shaft would clear the exhaust manifold or do the manifolds have to be modified anyways?

Could you take couple of pics of the manifolds from underneath, thanks! :)

Of course i will get more space to my steering rack, but i don't feel to write everything, because of my english ;) haha, so hard to think right and to put words on everyting..

But like i sayed,, i'm gonna drop the rack a little bit more :)

The front frame is just point welded.. you can see where every welding are and where to drill.

its a good way to practice your engrish! ;)

..my car's front rad frame is all wrinkled from being hit so many times. my car is an old warrior. right fender frame is all wrinkled on the inside. had to be pulled an everything. That's why i don't mind having a bracket for this frame, but nothing downward/along the radiator ; / i just went through your whole thread. respect!

Comment 1: Space down you steering rack. YOU MUST! if your subframe clearance is small i suggest raising the engine at the mounts a bit too since they'll flex, flow under heat etc. Not for damage but for comfort.

Comment 2: Tell me everything about removing your radiator frame i want to do it to my track car. have a couple ideas, but never hurts to get inputs! HOT SAUCE MAN!

More have been done..

I borrowed my friends broken 6geared box just to check the angles and stuff.

Taking out the engine again:


Das gearbox:


Das gearbox mounted on the engine:


the whole package:


The shit came down very well..:



Some pics on the manifolds and some stuff:








Little space left ;)


..

The engine has a nice angle with the gearbox on, it does'nt move the body or bonnet. Have'nt do something about the body or chassie to get everything to fit.
But's some work is left to assemble and line up, so will see if it change. But so for so good!
