Keep it up mate it's a fantastic thread to read!

Thanks, only problem is that the swift needs a re shell due to rust... Probably picking up a rust free 1,0 automatic in a couple of days

Man, you don't waste time ! hehe

Webers are pretty pimp ! And I love how clean is the engine bay with them

Keep it up !!

Indeed, you know what working is! hehe.. This setup must be amazing when it runs.. Webers are pimp, throttle bodies are even more pimp, but its a complete different price too..

Please don't forgerd to switch on the fan... Maybe looking for a 1.7 rad?

Any plans for the future? competition?

Nice
This is why i posted this because I have been inspired from many other nice projects! You should make a tread about you car too! Do it!

I will be making a thread about my 360 as soon as i make some decent progress on it. I am having a little trouble mounting the new seats to the original rails, so i may just mount them straight to the floor yet.

The clutch is now officially dead, slips even in first gear

Thanks, I have been in the garage almost daily the last week. Had a lot of issues but i know there is a light in the end of the tunnel, so here it goes:D

Don't got the whole story, forgot the camera a couple of times

We struggled a lot to get engine out but because of some slight space issues, had to chop of the axle

Arrrrgh:

I will never trust Haynes again

Engineless and sad looking 360, with some weak drift wheels:

New engine coming together, check out oil filter crashing into engine mount because of sandwich plate. Picked up an Renault Clio filter today, hoping it will fit

And some parts have been refreshed others are just washed:

Last pic today, will take more when i get back in the garage..
Got my hands on a axle, gearbox and a welded diff, so I am just swapping it all straight over..

Who had thought that a m47r and the transaxle would fit in a Swift
