Finally the transmission is back in the car. I've made the trans cooler lines and fitted them. The car originally had a plastic fuel pipe running from the tank to the engine, this is now gone and has been replaced with the correct size metal pipe. The headers were an absolute pain in the a$$ to fit, and with the help of Limey (cheers mate) we had to lift the engine and dismantle the engine mounts just to get them located, how long can it take to fit a header Anyway, i've still got the collectors to connect but until the gaskets arrive it'll keep. I also noticed with the car in the air that the rear springs are only held together by the axle u bolts which isn't good by any means.

Thanks again for your help Sean over the last couple of days mate.

Just think how difficult it must have been to fit the headers BEFORE the shock towers were done

Great work Phil, any updated pics of the engine bay??
