Cheers for the comments peeps :mrgreen:

the last 2 nights work!

now that the engine and transmission is in i flexed her up to find that i need to do even more trimming to the bulkhead and front arches. i'll start welding it all back up this weekend!

Then tonight i decided to fit the vitara radiator. I used the original mounts out of the vitara but with the O/S one i rotated it 90degrees so that it sits in front of the rad as the steering box is in the way. and then trimmed the N/S one so that it fits between the rad and the chassis.

made up some supports for the top.

trimmed the bonnet so that it closes :lol:
