Cheers lads, I wanna see how it goes too…. Made some adjustments so my wheels don't scrub
until I can afford 15mm adapters anyway.
Bad news
went to start car to take it for mot tomorrow, sounded like a bag of spanners, luckily my mate Nath was there, a mechanic, who pushed me to get the crank off
So the almost complete car looks like this
Hope is still with me to go to Big Bang in it though. Clearly il not be running though as I need to bed engine in, hopefully I Can get big and main end bearings tomorrow.

Just read your entire thread Brad top effort. car looks good with the cookie cutters on and I bet it will run well also with that lump and set up in it. The rear axle mounts must be a bad point on the mk1s as I had to redo one of mine also.
That pic of your old cabby should be x rated. If your going to the annual meeting then hopefully I will get to see your car in the flesh.
