The new house is sorted and I'll be moving in over the long weekend. So the 1200 will have prime position in the garage and can't wait to be working on it every night!
But today I sectioned out the crossmember, just to get the engine a little lower and back a bit. New sump will be here tomorrow, also ordered the flanges and steampipe to make my exhaust manifold soon. And I cut a big hole in my rh inner guard to fit the behemoth turbo in the engine bay! Pics to come

Wow that white one is bloody awesome! That's the look I'm going for right there

a few pics!

I wasnt happy with how the engine was sitting so i modified my crossmember and made a whole new sump! was alot of work but it was worth it as the engine sits exactly where i want it to.. ill be getting my front engine mount plate jetcut next week from 10mm alluminium.. sorry for the pic quality, i think the fluro lights effected it

Sump before i started



Chopped up and bits added





Almost finished! just gotta work out where the pickup will sit, then do the final welding and ad a bung
