With roll cage in two slots in the dash were cut out to fit in place. Must make up a few brackets at a later stage to secure it.


Next job was to line up the engine, modify the subframe and fab up engine mounts...
This was a difficult decision. Was going to go ls400, then decided bmw 4.4 v8, but in the end decided I wanted to keep it light and as neat as possible and lets face it Sr parts aren't hard to come by so SR20 it was. Because of the new regs i cant cut the bulkhead so i beat it back as evenly as i could without breaking the seam. Got about 75mm out of it. This wont be seen anyway





Using this engine hoist I made up a few years back it was very easy to sit the engine where i wanted and tilt it to the right angle


Then set about modifying the subframe,,,after spending years welding with arc welders cant believe how easy mig welding is. Only bought the mig for the project.




This is how the subframe ended up. Chopped more than I needed to at the beginning,,,too eager,,,but it worked out nicely at the front end. (View from underneath)


Then back on with it, double checking engine position, fabbed some engine mounts and tacked them in place for welding after!!!


All welded up,,,sitting pretty
