I\'d planned on getting it done for then but its all going to slow down soon as we have two cars entered in a rally in Dec and they both need a fair bit of work to prepare.

Got some rod ends sorted for the rear suspension today, was going to use bushes but the design of the 4 link kit kinda put a stop on that so 3/4" x 3/4" rose joints it is !

Yes Please Steve send me an e-mail and we\'ll sort out the details.

Hey Mike.  Hadn\'t been on here for ages, the projects really taken a serious turn!  Interesting to me, cos I sold the 323 I had to buy another that was \'basically complete\', but I\'ve ended up completely stripping it and rebuilding it too.  I also have moved my engine back a long way, but not as far as yours!  About 120mm from memory, just to where the oil filter is right up next to the firewall.  Also, I\'ve built mine more for corners than drags, you might be interested to know that I have transplanted the entire front end out of a series 4 rx7 in, giving me rack and pinion steering, and better suspension and brakes.  Gives more clearance for the turbo dump too (12abp, t04).  I too have been in the process of cutting my car, although less tunnel and rear end mods, more just bracing, including a cage that goes to all suspension mounting points.  Awesome progress, I can\'t wait to see the finished result!  I\'m hoping to have mine finished and on the road over here in early Feb.

Get back in the garage!  You\'ve helped inspire me to keep working on mine and get it on the road ASAP.

Glad to here you\'ve enjoyed reading it, I\'ve enjoyed writing it and working on it. Rally this weekend so work may start again soon I hope. Will be an update pretty much straight away as I think I missed the last lot of progress (got a bit swamped with things to do)

Have made you an overseas guest too ... please post some photos of your car .. sounds very interesting!!

Thanks ~ Mike

No worries.  Where should I post up pics, in here?  Probably won\'t be for a little while anyway (I\'m at work at the moment!).  Waiting for updates;)

[MikeLMR]

you can make a new thread ... thats what the forum is for. You should be able to upload piccies straight to the forum.

the angle grinder is going to have to come out again ... gawd knows how this is going to fit ! manifold to suit my engine is on it\'s way. (a little cheaper than the engine to suit the manifold!)

Wow looks like it is set up for a PP mike!!! be almost a shame not too....he, he, he...
  So that didnt take long to get it? Awesome motorvation though!

[MikeLMR]

yes ... the boxes of various random car bits is stocking up! I have to find a home  for them on the car soon or I will be overun ! hope to get something done this weekend even if it\'s just a dust off and uncover and tidy up.

This was the reason for the delay. All prepped and resprayed (very roughly!!) in a month
