Looking fab AL - the end almost in sight?

So......... She's painted and the new engine runs well. Got a fuel delivery problem but should be sorted out by using a swirl pot to feed the HP pump as the outlet on the race alloy fuel tank is not big enough.

On the back of the light unit there are threads to adjust the direction of the beam.

The intercooler is made by "PACE" and was a custom made unit that came off a Rover 600 turbo from Ireland.

Looking for 200 at first then with time get a bigger turbo.

Good work Al, that look amazing. Love the engine bay. Body work finished now? Just wondering why no full shots of the car?

Annoying about the fuel tank though! What sort of race car was that built for
