I'm coughing up filler dust today
Dan said its made of surprisingly hardy metal!
yeah the shaping of the indent.
the little dolly is pretty hench lol
Hard to push too
Possibly because the gearbox was dry ?!
easier now its got a lighter engine in it
Yeah i forgot the sprint lump weighs the same as the moon.
does it sit high on the front now ?
Might have to get a set of coilovers
I didn't notice it sitting high, shall pay more attention to it when I'm down next. of course it will have intercooler rad and all fluids in when done so would help with the ride height.
Yeah forgot to say thanks again to Paul_S13 for his help and Rads for his attention to detail whilst sanding
Yeah will still need a V-Band Deacs, 2.5" one
Well I'm now £370 ligher
Just bought these
And then I bought the matching rev counter otherwise I wouldnt be able to cope with them not matching!
I don't mind - They are retro and shiny
SOOOOOOOO PREEEETTTTYYY
I can assure you that discription isn't similar to driving a steam engine through rush hour
Looking good though Deac's, shame you couldn't get a Chronometric Tach like the one I had in the Westy - that'd fully fill the interiors cool quota on it's own
When do I get a(nother) go?
Chronometric Tach not really possible with the input!I can assure you that discription isn't similar to driving a steam engine through rush hour

Updates:-
Engine is finally on it's proper mounts
Gearbox mount all made
Gearbox mount mounted
Propshaft time:-
I need to make an adaptor so that the rear diff suits the S13 prop flange and then lengthen the rear section of the prop by 98mm
I was hoping to use the rear section of the Dolomite prop but I don't thin it will handle the power of the CA
Anyhow onwards and upwards
Thanks again to Rads S13 and Paul_S13 for their help with this project
Dan
Utterly Amazing
The Dolomite sprint stuff is good to about 250bhp and 300lbft apprently then it goes all wrong ! so belts and braces is a good plan dude
Where did you get the green paint! not a bad match that!

looking properly cool
been meaning to give you a buzz about the rear brake bits, still want them but in no rush, so will collect them to save a few quid on postage
back on topic - loving the fab work, gearbox mount looks simple but effective. engine mount looks a bit different. how thick is that plate you're using? proper toughstuff
no bother matelooking properly cool

As for the mount, the gearbox one is 6mm plate with a 4mm angle plate to keep strength
The engine mounting plates are 6mm with 5mm right angles, probably ott but I like to over spec if I can
Also the engine mounting plates are getting supports added from underneath to help burden the load from the front of the subframe
Dan
It looks beefy !
Awesome project
You keeping the engine pretty standard Deacs?
It will be effectivly stage 1Awesome project
