Got abit busy over the weekend, front brakes built up and painted (no pics)
Also collected a gearbox, flywheel and bellhousing all matching with a old clutch that i know will fit for mockup
Also went and paid for this, a 250hp 820nm from factory FV432 APC engine will do nicely
250hp of glorious american pig iron
Only 597 run hours on the engine so only just bed in really for one of these engines

Not much progress has been made as show season is in full swing, having a fair few issues, brake servo not fitting needing to be "frabricobbled" to fit, engine is yet to be delivered as theres a slight issue with it where the head has got to be whipped off
After 4 months the custom extreme offset wheels turned up, shame they turned up damaged as they came though the box's and knackered the powdercoat still yet t obe fixed as there basically slow rolling me as i want them re powdercoat (seems fair right?)
having lots of issues with paint, roof all flaked off and parts all over reacting, i suspect it might of has paint stripped over it at one point
with issues with paint and wheels i hit the "curse word it" stage and made a roof rack up and bolted it straight into the rood and ordered 285 60 18 rear tyres, so its now getting lifted suspension and a madmax stlying so watch this space

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.
