Well the tranny arrived and unfortunately so did a few problems, so I had to send it back and Leon is setting about getting things sorted.
but in the mean time I had the opportunity to grab a very nice McLaren M1 body off a friend for a steal, and as my roots are firmly imbedded in sports cars I couldn't say no, so the last couple of weeks I have been knocking a chassis together, and this morning the last diagonals were tacked in so it was time for a trial fit, and amazingly enough it fits like a glove,
And yep that's the engine out of the 5000, as will be everything else as I have robbed everything and will utilize it all on this build, also the best part is wife is much happier with me building this than the single seater.
cheers Kaspa
