Thank you 
Bit more progress not involving spending 
First up - sump for the pump...
Bastard bit of alloy took some cutting. I was going to get it cnc'd but then i went at it one afternoon, and stupidly wouldn't let it
defeat me!!!
Next - something that has always upset me - the pedal box.
You can see in this old pic, the clutch pedal was almost in the passenger foot well when I bought it - made for a nasty driving position, but it was a
job i thought i'd leave post IVA.
you might notice it's had a hard life
Even being moved over 30mm to the right (lol look how squint the throttle pedal is too) the spacing was still crap.
Everything wonkily welded 
So some cutting, grinding, drilling later, the pedal was now secured in its new position on the pivot
and at 90degrees!
Need to de tigerseal the rubbers and fix the throttle and we should be all level

Been a funny year.... SLOW progress.
Feel i should put some pics up of something at least.....
There - 22kg lost! I am going to replace this with aluminium, which i intend to run all the way back under the engine as one piece
Like this,
Everything is holey and had the poo drilled out of it, so I'm replacing a lot of it, like the center console
Just needed my T45 to arrive.... been 7 weeks on order !
Eventually it arrived
Made it outside inbetween fitting a new kitchen
New centre "console" knocked up for the hand brake and gear shifter.
Hehe....
Had a look at this little problem... I'm no one to criticise anyone's welding, so I won't
Getting ancy waiting on bits.... i got grinder happy
Spent a considerable about of time lining up everything for a more comfortable seating postion - but as you know the controls are a bit skewed..
but then decided I'd cut more out first... add some tabs and an alloy floor with some mouldy old treadplate I had.
more weight saving : :
And added some bracing for the next job....
along with these feet
Meaning I can get the whole thing nice and level
Bringinng me to approximately concept v3.963

Been a wee while.... haven't actually done much Happy new year everyone!
Love is....
Thanks to Westgarage Engineering
I'm beginning to understand why people build chassis from shs!!
Anyway, chipping away, motor is level and almost in after about 4 days of measuring and adjusting
using my method of "dangling"
*excuse the mess of the garage
