Well engine craned into place, its tight!!!! and the rack will have to be moved forward and down! water pump clears the front of the suspension tower need a smaller oil filter (cosworth one should fit and I am told it is alot smaller front on gearbox shows how far forward it has had to move The A piller will not be to bad as these tyres are alot higher profile than the slicks. Hope to have the car out for a few rounds this year but that depends on time and funds.

theres more to life than mpg & to much power is just enough.

That is epic Really coming on now, looks spot on sitting on that chassis. What are the engine plans? Keeping it pretty standard?

Engine spec has to be pretty standard to meet the classic modifieds rules. www.classicmodifieds.co.ukI can run a tubular exhaust, mild cam and air filter but that is all.

Ooh, Swaffham. That can't be that far from me and this looks like properly good racing. Might have to make an effort to get up to this.

That's gonna look awesome on those wheels. Loads of room to drop that alternator by the looks.

That's one way of using a Scimitar chassis and a DAF shell. Should handle very well and take off fairly well. Can'#t wait to see her done, she'll definitely look the part mate!!

Well no pictures yet but have moved the engine back as now allowed in the revised rules for scimitar chassis and made the prop shaft.
Trimed the rear arches some more as well as they were catching on the rear slicks
