Screen demister has got #uck all to do with the MOT Test.

Not using the fan assy at all as there's no room.

I could throw (Put) it in the back of the Xsara and bring along Sunday NEC if your going

Back in my possession 22 September 2019.
Rebuilding the Sprint time taken so far, 111Hrs@15/12/2020
212Hrs @31/12/2021
352 @ 28/11/2022
455Hrs @ 20/10/2023
480Hrs @ 14/03/2024
This is time taken at the Sprint not necessary time worked.

Working on a ratio of just 7Hrs a day not including driving to the Sprint.
That equals to 68 days that doesn’t include weekends.

You may have to kink the gearstick forward slightghtly unless you are going to sit further back
I will get under mine this week and send you a pikky of what i have doen to strenghten the floor just behind the gbox it makes a lot off difference.

The good old Mustang/Cossie Tremec T5.
I do have a linkage kit from a TVR Griffin that put's the gearlever some 4/5" inches further forward.
If you could take photo's of your floor it would be very very helpfull.

Daz,

Any chance of getting under your car soon,
Could do with having a look to see how you done your's before I attempt to do mine sort of thing.

Scott.
I got it as low as I could,
Mind you I need some serious mod's to get the sump capacity back.
I haven't even thought about the clutch as yet Helix MotorSport have been mention elsewhere and I shall be taking your old and my clutch up to see what they can do.

Alun.
Long as it sound's like one.

Well with two week's off work to get some sort of hold on the ProjectAJP I now need a week off to recover.
It's been bloody hard work but worth it.
