Hi Richard looks like a great project you have there bud, I will follow with interest ! We have a wedge enthusiast doing the exact same thing with a BMW 6 pot http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... might have some commonalities with your own project.
Also in the same thread you will find a Cerbera that has an M derived engine fitted some time ago, https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151801... might be worth a call to RT Racing.

This is a picture of Richards car earlier in the year its amazing how it has progressed and is a perfect example of how to do it and in many ways shows the Classic boys how not to do it.
No Original saveable car has been harmed in the making I see and hear on so many forums from people with Vixens etc that they want to or plan to do this and I cringe and think why its a Classic car keep it this way however Richard has used parts from various unsalvageable cars and is creating a dream that most of us would not have the skill to do but is a real inspiration to many of us
Well Done Mate its going to be very special

Hi Richard,
Glad to see you progressing nicely with your project. This will be a brilliant combination of all top quality components in an old shell. Would love to be with you at the traffic lights when the boy racer pulls up next to you!!!!
Hoping to see the finished car at the pre80s in September.
All the best in the new year!
D.

great looking brakes, I also wonder how those wishbones? work/feel in real time, the upper ones look very short :-) but I guess we see/hear in time when a lot mileage is done, great work.

the good thing is, the 'lever' ? is also short that way, so it can resists more/better the braking power on the bushes in that set up theoretically.

looking good, did not knew that there was so much room left behind the pedals to mount the (whats the name of the black thing say UFO) inside the car :-) keeps it also more clean under the bonnet.
