Blimey, someone's got Del working!
Some serious progress being made here, it'll be great to see the old girl back on the road.

How`s it going, John ?

The only thing I have done is to move it from Scott's place down to next door to were I live as Scott is going to put his place up for sale and it was a bit far to go , not only that but the plastic roof we had on the shelter thing sort of got shredded in the wind the other day, I will be putting up a marque type thing for when I fit the engine , I still need it under cover as it is in primer but I have to get it up in the air so I can work on the trans tunnel from under the car, I have to put engine and box in , see were I have to cut it and take the whole lot out again probably several times !!!
The gearbox cross member has to be altered and trans tunnel made bigger as the O/D gearbox is fatter than a normal 904 it is also longer I will do pics when I do it that's all for now folks !!!!

Have not done much due to the weather as the car is outside but have made some progress with the gearbox mounting , had to cut off the bit under the tunnel and make a new one for the inside of the tunnel , made a gizmo to line up the propshaft with the rear end had to go to pets at home to get it but it works !!, also had to bend a bit of 6mm checker plate to go round the tunnel this was done with two bits of wood four scaffold tubes some clips and a 10 ton hydraulic press oh yes and a 14 pound sledge with some heat from the hot spanner more news soon enjoy the pics !!!for some reason I am not able to post pics but I will sort it out

She's coming on well John. Lifting her up on scaffold is a great idea. Wish I'd have thought of that before doing the underneath of mine!
