Looking great James.
I hope you’ve made a few of the panels with rivnuts and removable in order to get access into front bulkhead, sills etc
all the best, and keep ticking the boxes:)

Leave it outside in the baking sun and put weights on places to lower the fiberglas, let it cool down, and repeat if needed.
I’ve reset my doortops with sunshine and a carbattery as weight to get the top of the doors lowered into correct shape.
You could also make an automatic Audi A8 FWD box fit with few mods to most in the enginebay. Then make up a controlbox for it and have pushbutton gears.

This is a pic of one of my cars in build. You can use Wilwood MC-4 calipers. They bite good. It should be a fairly straight forward job. Need to make an adapter plate to fit it though.

This is out on ebay, and its a long lever. Good leverage on this one. Its the same as was used under the dash on a few original GT40s.
Only for info, no affiliation to the add.
Good luck,

You just extend the handbrake lever inside the car, or find a 2nd hand handbrake which is longer. That gives you more leverage when pulling the handbrake.
You could make an extension on your handbrake handle inside cockpit. This will give you more pulling force.
Which handbrake handle do you have?
Good luck

Can you lower the suspension for the lights to fit height or are you then below the 500mm minimum bottom of lens to ground requirement.
Just shim to suit I guess. Bit fiddly though.
Which headlights do you have?
These are old Escort twin cam ones
My SEV Marchal lights have slightly...
The easiest is to just buy a crate engine. Buiding from scratch, doing all the research in matching parts that will actually work and all the hours mskes it very costly in the end.
