My project has been underway for some time now but due to a move into another home and a new garage built, it's taken the back burner.
I have renewed interest again so I thought I'd start a diary.....
I have completely stripped the starly and cut out the firewall and most of the front floor.
The rear sumped engine sits just behind the crossmember/rack, which means the engine mounts will need to be welded to the crossmember and come back to the chassis rails where they will be bolted through sideways.
A full cage will be needed to keep the car from becoming a twisted mess, I plan to use the cage to mount the rear crossmember and front seat mounts.
The cage bars will also come thru to the front struts and engine mounts.
Brakes are Altezza all round with a hiace lsd rear axle. Master cylinder will be a aftermarket item mounted on the floor.
I'm using the auto trans, just because of pedal room and it's different, A friend of mine will build a controller for it to make it sequential shift with lock-up torque converter when braking (engine braking)
