Engine engine number 9.....11

Bit of a while since the last update, but rather than cram this one full, i'll post some more up tomorrow....

Main success of the week was getting Dexter's engine hung in his '63 Split. The back mounts are in, and just require some refinement to trim the engine level. This week we'll get the front nailed down too. As far as my net trawling has found so far, nobody seems to have gone for this engine and box combo before - 911 3.0 litre SC motor mated to a T25 auto. The auto box is the bigger part of the challenge, quite literally, but with some clearancing and some smart thinking regarding a-arms, mounts, shifter mechanism etc. we should be able to post up pics of the front set up later this week.






Some stud welder and dent pulling action on the front of Mike and Glenda's bay this week, getting pretty close to a filler skim now....




Also managed to get the framehead modification on the Brasilia a step closer, TIG'd up the holes left after cutting off the pressings to allow the link pin beam to fit.
