Glad you guys approve.
We have had the engine for a week and this is the progression so far
* Engine has been mounted on a custom made rear section of the cross member and engine mounts
* Steering race mounting has been modified to clear the dry sump pump
* Holinger sequential gearbox is mounted (Power frame and Tailshaft still need mods)
* New firewall frame work is fabricated
* Pedal Box has been mounted into a box frame and sunken into the floor
* custom made power steering and Alternator mounts fabricated and mounted
* increased cage work around the top of the firewall to strengthen the car after the removal of part of the cross member
Will post some pics soon

Haha, if that's you, you're looking like a kid walking out of the toy store in the fork-lift pic. 
Also, just wondering what was in that car before this swap. Some of the meanest rotarys around come out of your neck of the woods if I recall correctly.
fixt.

great stuff, thanks for the interest
I will post some more pics soon.
At this stage we are looking at racing at the June round of the Super GT Championship. I will make sure the in car camera is working!
Thanks

Freaking Love Aussies, I could become an ex-patriot to Australia or New Zealand so fast. They're bat **** crazy and don't understand why people think they are. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
