That is one shiny engine you have in the back there!

HI all,

well i have made a bit of progress most of the coolant pipe are in just need to make a few brackets, had to make a alloy plate with rubber gasket and the front and back as things is ran inside the car.


Got the fuel system in just the last few little things sort. started work on the alloy bulkhead, the middle black alloy plate at the rear is the main plate which everything pass through. Things are abit tight but everthing fits and does not touch each other. Not haveing the exhaust tunnel like on a steal shell makes things abit harder, when you have 2 coolant pipes 2 handbrake cable and 2 gear cables to get in the little tunnel and not touch.
