I'll have this back in my workshop as soon as I've shifted "work load"... there's a rather empty looking space where the engine should be... don't you think!

I'd think about using a Mig over sbits of string Matt. Just a thought :)

What layout r u thinking of? got any donors in mind?

MMMWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH !!!! Dunno, my only problem with running a rotor motor is what to do with the exhaust manifold and the driveshaft. The other issue of course is that there's just no bloody way I'd fit a turbo in there :( But hell, a PP with throttle boddies :D might just do the trick!

If I hadn't spent the last 2 years restoring the shell, I would quite happily cut a sodding great hole in the floor pan, an mid mount it on an Audi 80 gearbox... plenty of room for blowers then! But for now, I'll stick to getting the suspension done.

How about a supercharger? Sits on top. Won't see much out the windscreen tho...
