1) Fit drivers seat.
2) Possibly lower floor to enable (1) to happen.
3) possibly move pedalbox forward a few inches if (2) is not sufficient to allow (1) to happen.
Engines?
Who knows - it's still up in the air at the moment.

That's part of the problem Adam - I am generously proportioned in a horizontal axis as well 
P.S. The more I see those splitrims, the more I'm glad I left it...
Would still love a set of Compomotive split rims though. Then I'll have a set of each of my favourites.

Hi Dave,
We're moving just up the road really, but it's 3 bedroom (our lass wants sprogs) with integral garage so it'll be nice and warm in
there! 
But it means I'll have to do the dirty, smelly jobs out in the shed!
Should be moving next Friday, or the following Monday.
After Christmas I'll race ya to see who can get the most done!
I've now got two LSD's, two sets of driveshafts and all the rear brake parts, so that'll give me something to do (in the shed) over
Christmas.
Cheers
G

We're not moving until next year now!
Plus I missed off fitting a quick rack from my list. Looks like I'll have to start some of the upgrades in the cold garage

Diff fitted. Most rear end parts painted. Just the rear wheel bearings to change tomorrow night and I can start re-assembling the rear end on
Wednesday (day off work).

Finish extensive work on house so that I can sell it
Find and buy new house with a GARAGE!!
Start work on car I have been wanting to build since 1983 (that's the year I decided to build a Lotus seven copy)
With a bit of luck I might be on the road in about 5 years
