So up to now I've the got the complete wiring loom and engine sat in the car and no pictures ha. ill get some pics up tomorrow as its another full day in the garage. might even try to get my leathers in.

Just got a quick picture of how the engines sat in so far.

nice! what sorta mods you gotta do to fit it in?

Sub frame needs cutting out and welding to suit the new fabricated rear mounts, engine loom fitting into fusebox, vr6 gear stick remote fitting, new metal clutch pedal welding in plus vr6 clutch master and reservoir, front panel cut out to fit new fan and rad, drive shafts made to fit, exhaust made to fit, theres a fair bit of work goes into one but its all worth it for the sound at the end ha

its a fortune mate ha

yeah I've managed to get engine sat a lot higher this time, to be honest the whole conversion is a lot better 2nd time round, everything seems to be sat a lot better and fits perfect. Loads of room left for the turbo ha, justn no room for an intercooler, charge cooler might be needed

Got exhaust down pipe and middle pipe fitted today, i need a bracket for the gear selector and some 90* bends for the exhaust then I've got everything. clutch master can then be fitted along with new pedal and reservoir, then slimline fans going on and front end can be built back up for a test drive.

Clutch is now coupled up, fans fitted, bumper grill and headlights in. interior trim needs re-fitting, a bracket for the selector cables which should be here tomorrow will be fitted and the backbox welded on, then its test drive time.

this will be nice to see finished

Looking good so far! What happened to the last one?

More pics!! :p
