I have to say I managed to get my gearbox off and on without taking the motor out and I never want to do it again

Well guys ,good news and bad news. Bad news first, I've done my back
and have'nt touched the car nearly 4 weeks. (very frustrating) Good news
Santa's come early. My brakes and wheels have turned up and looking smick

Metro turbo 8.4 vented disc's with (matching RED) K.A.D alloy 4 pot calipers

And my 13x7 superlites (or super heavy's as Tricky likes to call them (and
he's right) sitting on the template car


And a test fit on the car (gunna have to think of a name)

Well guys it's time to pull the motor out of the car. (A) To fix the oil pump
(B) To pull the subframe out and test fit the starlet frame



Out with the "A" series



The empty engine bay with standard subframe



Nose 2 nose



Both subframes out



Changing the oil pump



Starlet frame in the car, I didnt cut to much out until i actually fit the frame for the last time




Heres the frame after full welding,look familiar anyone?


Heres the frame back in the test car



And the motor back in,so now i can start putting bits on and sort the wiring

Lookin good Hallsey.

Have you had the frame looked at by an engineer?
Can't wait to see it finished.

Madmorrie

Yes Halsey, that frame does look familiar.

Good work Ol' Sock.

Not long to go now, and I cant wait till you drive Simply Red under new power for the first time. Should be a hoot.

Cheers,
Tricky

Hi guys, na engineer has'nt seen the frame yet but i have spoken with him in detail .When i first approached him to inquire about what i wanted to do he already had a file on Matt Power's build with all the info from his website. So he said if i stick with what Matt has done i should'nt have any problems.

Yeah Tricky i cant wait to drive it either, I got pretty excited reading about Pub's first drive.
