This is what is required to fit seats over 4 link boxes More mods to the seat back will be required to fit around the rollcage which will run to the top of the rear turrets

They might be able to modify your existing trims if they are in good nic Im considering a cage something like this one,it will only require some minor mods to the seatback framing to fit around the cage[:p]

More Goodies





And this is a work in progress...I am designing a shroud which will take air from 3' hole in the front panel which is visible next to the cooler. This hole will be hidden behind the front grille. The air flow can then exit next to the inner guard and the shroud will also double as a stone shield[%]

Cheers Fehlbie It's a slow process,but the results should be well worth it in the end[:p] It was a challenge to find the oil cooler a home where it could do its thing without being hit by something or getting in the way[;^)]

Hi Darren, all the mods have created the necessity for a fresh coat of paint so it all looks a bit half finished at the moment[8~2] Im still deciding on exactly how to finish the hole through the front panel I have just cut...nothing the mig and angle grinder cant fix[(#)]

The list of bits seems to be spiraling upwards in the interests of finishing it right this time[B)] Not to mention the cost of the engine rebuild yet to come[:u][xx(]

17's all the way.

I think extra massive wheel will look silly.

Remember it is (was) an old style car.

Where did you get the fuel rail from - was it blank?

I agree Linclon[;^)] 17's are my weapon of choice but the brakes are the hurdle with running FR17's.Im currently looking for a solution to allow me to run FR17x8's and FR17x9's[%]

What have i missed, your painting the whole car again? [:u] you definately dont do things by halves.

Phil if you need fr17 inners/outers and you know what size, let me know as i might have some we can swap/sell.
