I'm glad to see work has started again on this beast.

Glad to see it wasn't sold on or cut up.....

Looking forward to some more progress pics

Yeh im motovated now, so hopefully it can continue. Dont take notice for the steering setup, i need a new long rod as i cut it too short and has to be all welded and cleaned up yet. once i get it running ill be stoked. And to make things better i sorts know the engineer and he said when im ready he will look/pass it for me.

cheers Anthony

I was told i could put a 3.4 rover v8 in it, or whatever they are, so i went in and asked about it, they said no way 2ltr is max. And even with the rb20, i have to get a report saying it only makes 150 horsepower, well unless he askes for it. But if i want too, i could get it passed with the rb20, than put a rb25 or so in and keep the keep the numbers on etc as they are virtually identicle.

cheers Anthony

Doing the diff at the moment, working out the column and then wiper mechanism. Dump pipe is done, turbo and lines are done, using a TDo5h, so had to make adaptor, plenum is done and ready to bolt down.....

Problem: to make the TBS work from thr RB loom to the Ford TB. Both with their own totally different setup inside


Solution: After much deliberation it hit me. Fab a spacer to marry the both


Final: Works great....
