Just what i needed, a pair of engine mounts. These will come in handy soon.
Cleaned up & ready for welding. I will weld these to a UC X-member. [orig Opel]
I'm trying to sneak a few mm here & there.
Just waiting on a couple of bits being finished..... as usual!

Time to start getting the front end sorted.
Buy all the bits....
Components are now blasted & primed. Trial assembly time.
I'm going against the grain here & opting for the HZ Girlock alloy calipers.
{chime in anytime you want datto, i could use the help}
First up, clean all the old paint from the mounts.
I don't like the look of the factory dodgey casting.
That's better.
A quick coat of primer to make them easier to handle.
More to come. Baby steps.

Nothing screams quality like new bars! 
I will send these in to be 2K'd on the inside before fitting.
Heater box modified for the injection
Getting there, slowly but surely.
