[purplehaze]

Engines in chuffed! Fits like a glove! Took a while but it fits



Waiting on exhaust mani to get bo then can fit radiator and altenator then build up the rest of the car few more weeks!!!

[maxi]

great stuff man. cant wait to see it finished!!

Beast!

[purplehaze]

I and me both mate! Still a lot to do! Mount radiator! Servo! Clutch! Altenator, interior, tank and sender unit, arches ,roof :/ a lot to do

[kerryminigringo]

Wonder if the shortened inlet will have the same effect as on my G13b,there is a noticeable difference in low down torque between the GT and the Esytate and it is not down to ratios as the GTi gearbox and the GLS gearbox have the same 1st,2nd and 3rd.But once you get over 5kRPM it is less noticeable but the 25mph in 5th is not an option.

[purplehaze]

Haha yes I don't think I will notice it there's enough power anyway

[purplehaze]

Exhayst mani cut ,shortened, bent fits now going bo on tomoro wit new gasket waiting in gear linkage to come back getting it welded properly





That's it for today more updates and pics tonoro , last night we fully built up the doors, altenators in, few other bits
