Stunning work Bill !

I really liked your "shelf" idea at the sides of the engine space when you first mentioned the concept, but now seeing it the flesh - what a difference it makes - turning inaccessable/useless space under the sloping sides into useful space which you can actually get to : Brilliant !

As for your s/s work : "I takes me hat off to you" - a masterpiece !

(But, how are your hands surviving ? Mine would just be a work-in-progress consisting of old/recent/new scar tissue & new lacerations !)

I can see that you have moved the engine quite a bit forward & this should improve the f/r weight, along with helping with drive-shaft angles. I'd love to see how you are setting up the belts & pulleys - when I did mine (using the stock RF twin v-belt setup), I thought that there must be a better (more compact) way, but the "rush to rego" did not permit much more thinking in this area. As it was, I had to create some extra clearance into the bulkhead panel to accommodate the A/C pulley.

Fantastic work mate - please keep this pics coming !

Kind Regards,

Peter D.
