    Never!! Been working on it, but all boring metal bashing grinding welding. Now comes the fun part of the build.

    As usual, very slow progress. Build the engine with fresh parts, hoping to get it into the car this weekend.

    Adjusted shims

    Fresh whole OEM engine gasket kit, ARP head studs , new water and oil pump. Also simplified coolant and vacuum system.

    ORC single kit, with skimmed flywheel , new disc, pressure plate and 4AGE ARP flywheel bolts

    Modded the steering knuckle again, with a mix of stantard and 4wd cosworth items so now it has two UJ's .

    Also did a simple cabin ventilation system. Spain is usually hot and a lot more inside a caged stripped lexan windowed track car , so thought a bit of air moving towards the driver would be nice. The fan really works, it is an Attwood marine inline item. I get the same as a OEM system at full chat, as it only goes trough the middle vents.

    Got it! Put on the cosworth intercooler and radiator for testing purposes. They are definitely too low for my liking. Will modify the front and the coolers so they go up.
