iam going to put the engine in the front and bypass the fuel pump so i can use the fuel lines that are already there. and ive made the loom up so i can just drop it in. it all sounds to easy lol. ill wait and see. the engine should be in by next week.

i just used what we had spare at work but if was to make it again i would use 50 box for the lot. the car didnt have a engine in and the tralier was prob on the limit lol.

ive been looking on the bay for a bodykit that i could mod to fit to make it look like the red one with wide archs. has anyone got any ideas what kit i could use to chop up. has anyone on here done that sort of thing. iam going to sort out some wide wheels aswell to fill the archs.

hi all its not fully in yet the engines fully mounted. just got to mount the diff.
put the carbs on and wire it all up
i had to mount the engine as far foward as possible to get the room for the diff and then i had to mod the bonnet.

OK, so that engine is light, but could it not go higher and further back? Or maybe only one set of mounts is fitted and it's just resting there.......
Understeer is the enemy of all FWD cars (and the Cento more than most, perhaps).
How about chain adjustment?

the prob i have is the dia of the spocket on the diff thats why ive had to mount it as forward as possible. and any higher it hits the bonnet. i no its not the best way to do it but iam just trying to get it all ini could mess about with it all later if needs be. the engines an old one now. newer engines there alot slimmer but its the cost this one only cost me 150 and that was with the carbs and coils and cdi unit. for the chain adjustment iam going to make the diff mount adjustable the main prob with mounting it is the wishbone mounts if they was 50mm back more it would be alot easyer.

Gotcha.
Welds look great, but some triangulation to the turrets (thickest bit of the shell)?

a carn't wait to see this beast finished, nice work oadamo ;-)
hi its me again lol.
ive now sorted out the gear change. ive made a bracket to hold the standard cable then welded the ball bit to the gearlever. so now i can change gear using the gearstick so the car looks standard from the outside. but i have plans for a paddle change later on. ive got my new spocket today so now i can turn the center out and mount it on the diff. so ive got all the controls done now just gotta get it running. i forgot my cam today so ill upload some pics tomorrow.

i had a go at doing the diff drive today ive welded the spocket on but ive got to make some sort of cover to fill it with grease to keep it all moving. i dont no how long it will last but if it breaks ill have to look at some diffs with the bolt on crown wheel.

your not the only one then lol.i think if its going to go wrong the spocket will break off the diff. but ill wait and see

ive got the diff mounted on the car now . it was a bit of a pain to line up i had to move the engine over by about 30mm. got the chain and some oil this morning. so by next week i sould be able to test drive it iam having a go at making my own arch roller so ill be off to the scrap yard to test it out lol.
but if it works iam going to roll the archs and see what wheels i can get to fit. i want some nice wide ones. ive been messing about on the lathe with some steel wheels that iam going to have a go at banding them the one i have done so far is very wiiiiiiiiiiide. ill upload some more pics but i keep leaving my cam at home :bang: .

mmm High Energy Debris release
Have you got any measures in there to contain the sprocket should it fail? Im not sure whether it'll be absolutely necessary, but it may be a good idea.
