Love this build mate. Seriously unless you have done one you don’t understand the time effort and thought that goes into it. Top work, going to be a weapon. Very thoughtful build.

Thanks Gary  I have done a couple builds now from not knowing any thing to now and knowing a shit load also I know what I want and what the car will be used for plus have a good mate to bounce ideas off , yourself, Ian, Daniel (AKA Cava) also

so finished engine mounts but found my first misstate today went to lift engine up and drop x member and they would not part I had not taken enough out of the x member part of the mount part so the round tube would not slide out so got it apart cut some more off and all sweet now , started gearbox mount similar to the engine mounts made that part, then cut two 50x50x5 angle drill some holes these are for the chassis parts then cut a box section in half made a CAD template first then the metal part to weld to the angle will weld up once I have the front mount bushes installed  ,,

also put the bonnet on and I have 20mm clearance between blower and bonnet so I may be able to run the lsa cover after all  ,, any way photo’s to make sense
