I know i know lack of updates, had a failed upload twice so here goes again
had to go through lots of small issues to get the gearbox onto the engine for good, had to machine and rebush the clutch fork and bellhousing due to wearing out along with alot of fettling to get all the new parts to work with each other
There is meant to be 2 unbroken bolts there, these hold the P-Pumps weight to take it off the front casing, been broken and not lined up correctly for a long time
3rd gearbox, with a good casing and all clean inside, bellhousing shaved and cleaned up
another fettling issue, new pushrod on the left and correct one on the right, took me ages to get the old correct one that i had to machine the ball end to fit the new slave
engine and gearbox wire wheeled twice and all the nooks and crannies gone over TFR + jetwashed 3 times to make it spotless for the paint, unfortunatly this high temp engine enamel that was hyped up by a bunch of people was rubbish and has come out terrible so il have to sort that
engine is back in now hopefully for good, ill probably have to remake the front most engine mounts as ive put too much heat into them from welding
at this point ive got the new filters and housings, new starter, new oil filler cap, new water pump, il have to do a timing bump and other tuning items at a later date

I bet the purists probably don't like this, but screw them! This thing looks like a blast!

This thing is insane. Definitely not a swap I would think of doing, but it looks like it will be a blast to drive. I like the mad max look you have going too.
