Well the car has made it into the garage again. The winter has been harsh to the car. No more real rust just gotta go over a couple of things i have already done. Bit of a proper update later with new wheels & engine mounts etc.

Right before my recent updates i found some pictures of the gauge cluster i have built for the car using VDO gauges. I also found a fewpics of the dash fitment with the cage.
The gauges will be removed and refitted on a carbon panel.

Right the car is currently sitting on its new wheels,compomotive MO5's again but this time 17x 8, currently running 215 40 17 tyres up front and 235 40 17 tyres up rear but front will probably change up to 225 40 17.
The ride height will be lower than its set currently.

Right the engine mounts are finally done which means i can crack on with the bulkhead and tunnel fabrication, the engine is sitting on a standard 340 engine crossmember which make replacement nice and easy. I have great clearance for exhaust and inlet etc, and i have also modified the sump to allow for fitment of a pas rack at a later date if i need to.

Good job dude! Landrover mounts ftw, it also looks like there's plenty of room to spare with the T5. It's going to be a proper monster when done 340pw

Well the story behind that is the speedo range below that model only goes to 150 or 160 which this should well outsee..... :twisted:
