Ive been busy.. F20C AE86 (56k badness!)

That's a top effort Paz, no doubt you shed a lot of blood, sweat and tears (Well, maybe not that much sweat in the depths of a British winter!) with the sheer determination I'm sure it took to put that together working in a small lockup!! Brave stuff indeed.

Good to see the Goodline bonnet fits too.

I hope you'll take these comments as constructive - I'm not bashing your efforts at all, just hope these will help.

As I'm sure you know - the engine moves a fair bit when in use - in all directions (From torque, corners, braking, etc), so:

It's difficult to see from only a few pics, so you'll know yourself - but assuming it's as close as it looks, you may need to run fabricated alloy engine mounts and possibly fabricate an engine brace at the top. If the stainless exhaust manifold's end hits the leg, as it may cause it to crack. Also, your manifold will burn the paint on the nearside chassis leg and may be a fire hazzard, unless you can fit some heat shielding there. Like I say, it's difficult to see from the few pics. IF the engine moved into the steering rack linkage enough, it could potentially cause problems with steering.

I realise it's not finished, there's still lots to do when a project's new engine is fitted. like I say, I'm just trying to offer some helpful comments here. If I'm barking up the wrong tree, just let me know and I'll delete these, no problem at all.

I'll bet you feel a sense of satisfaction & once it's all finally sorted you'll have a massive smile on your face.

Huge, huge well done so far!! - Your effort is truly inspiring.
I know I couldn't have mustered that level of effort working inside just a small lockup in the depths of a British winter. I look forward to seeing the beast run and drift as it's meant to!
