    Thanks mate! Unfortunately I'm grinding these off as I've pinched the frame and the centres will decrease for this style of engine mount.

    I had to re do the engine mounts as I pinched the frame. Here's the new ones mocked up.

    Looking very good!!
    The "speed holes" on boxing plates are neat. I've only added access holes in past, really like the looks of your frame!

    Nice work, it is the attention to the small details that turn a nice car into a great car. So far you are well on your way to a truly great car, good luck with your build.

    One down, one to go. Weld the mounting brackets on the dif, fabricate the front ladder bar incorporating gearbox mount and she's back rolling!

    Finished off the gearbox crossmember today. I'm not sure where I'll run the exhaust but I've allowed for them to run through the crossmember if need be. image.jpg image_13.jpg image_12.jpg image_11.jpg image_10.jpg image_9.jpg image_8.jpg image_6.jpg image_5.jpg

    I also made the second ladder bar and mocked them up in the chassis to size up the mounting plate that will support the gearbox and secure the ladder bar pivot points image_24.jpg image_23.jpg image_22.jpg image_21.jpg View attachment 2725224 image_19.jpg image_17.jpg image_16.jpg points
