peter evans Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 That's right I just had to have it and it was only 10 miles from me, usually I'm having to travel length and breadth of Britain lol looking for a good engine and box so fingers crossed 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter evans Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Dry fitted engine and box fitted twin 45s I used 50 mm capri engine rubber mounts just to see if I could get the servo in, it went in with ease and it will clear the 45s if I use short trumpets 30mm ones so I'm now on the hunt for some seen on eBay but silly money there again might have to bite the bullet and hit the buy it now 😂 Edited July 2, 2017 by peter evans Miss print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonayres Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 That's looking really smart. Exciting to see it morph into a 400! What colour are you planning to paint it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter evans Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Think it's going to be white outside white engine bay and underneath insides car might go gun metal grey or black not sure yet 😊Pic of the engine that's going in all parts been dry fitted and pulled apart again it's now time to start rubbing down for spraying. Still looking for some parts hoping for secondhand but failing that they will be new Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

peter evans Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 After a really hectic summer with work and holidays and two it’s time to get back to my winter project hope to finish ready for the Singleton car show mayday 2018. I’m still trying to source a manta rear axle with a lsd ready fitted. If no luck I’ll have to by a new one and get it fitted fingers crossed put some pics of progress on in the next cpl of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also purchased a 4ha axle with jag lsd disc conversion ready to go on. then off to the welders for the brackets to convert to a floating axle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
