Wonderful idea. Too bad Metros were never sold in North America.

I fitted a turbo without cutting the bulkhead. I just used a big hammer and bent the bulkead until it fitted.

However, my engine is solid mounted and hardly moves. And I've got a cage which stiffens the shell up where I weekened it with a hammer.

It is possible though.

There's no job that can't be done with a BFH.
