Hi ya
Been working on boot area, rear suspension, rear wiring, air tank install, new 15 gallon tank, fuel feed, battery fitting. Now all the ass end sorted, just gotta put boot lid back on, may fit a high level brake light in it if I can find something suitable.
Any how here's a pic.

Cheers John.
Also looks like I will be sticking with SBC as needed to take beemer engine by tommorow, but won't tie up large amount of dough and have SBC sitting about.
Hey ho. So tommorow back down garage, fit battery clamp and bootlid, the turn Ol' Girl round and start fitting the front end back on. Would like to make a tilt front but not sure quite how that would work yet.
Cheers

Keep plugging away .. looks great . Good call to stick with the chevy ..looks like a tidy unit .
Cheers.
Been down garage today, had to change mini steering rack as found did not have enough lock, seems i had the sportpack rack for the 13inch wheel mini with reduced lock. Luckily i had another i could get hold of sharpish, now much better. Fitted rear wheels back on with new taller tyres, i think i like the stance, they fill out arches better. Also topped and check tranny level after changing pan to my deep pan with cooling tubes, not sure got it right yet, need to get a proper dipstick instead of this Chinese flex one. Also started to put front wings in place, well one them anyway, decided flip front gonna be a bit hard to do (which means aint gotta clue) but will try to make it so i can remove wings and nose as one peice for any engine maintenance, cos it's to difficult leaning over the wings.
Cheers

So been down garage last couple of days (well some of it anyway) fitted front gaz shocks, painted up a couple of bits i got at very good price at swap meet, edelbrock valve covers and a long air finned air filter (this had Mustang in raised letters on it so I milled those of with my router) sprayed both to match engine, both cost me ?120 I love a good deal. Started on trans tunnel and extra gauge housing. Getting there be a week or 2 before all sorted. Gotta fit rear gaz socks, order some carpet, sort steering lock.
Heres a pic of new bits on engine.

So now fitted inners wings i made out of ali. Finished gearbox tunnel/centre console, trimmed in leather from an old sofa. Fitted carpet today. Couldn't decide whether to go for overiders, bumpers or both, settled on both, overiders another swap meet buy 6 quid the pair. Removed old side lights and indicators, cut some slots for air flow through to discs. Fitted headlight with side/indicators round rim.
Ordered a die nut to put some extra thread on the metro steering rack so I can shorten the arms by about inch each side and still fit my rod ends.
Just need to fit rear bumper etc., rear shocks, clean inside of car, feed the leather seats. Getting there.
