My housemate is currently at home in Norway so he will hopefully be bringing me an adapter plate and a cage back from one of his local shops.
I'm going to run the 360 running gear until it breaks!!

I voted for the fantastic looking dark blue (looks a bit like MG Trophy blue), sounds like a very interesting project- good luck :D

You need a plan B - way you drive that wont be too long.

Once you have the adaptor plate, Is it going to fit in there without major surgery?

The only major issues i see are the sump. I can switch manifolds from a diff 5 pot to re route the throttle body, and i can flip the turbo the other way up to sort that out.
So yeh sump is the only ball ache i can see at the mo.

Oh and dont worry i do have a plan B!!! haha

yea although lately i have had a thing for deep dish wheels where the dish is silver and then the inner part is a different color to put emphasis on the dishyness lol, maybe a silver dish and the the main center of the wheels the same color as the body of the car.

Spokes are going white and to start with i will paint the entire wheel white, then if i think it needs it i will pop them on the lathe and diamond cut the lip. We will see.
