    ive removed some of the rust sections and patched them up and also test fitted bubble arches. ive know put the body on hold while I get the running gear on. Engine and box have been mounted just need to make a custom cross member.Click image for larger version Name:	engine.jpg Views:	321 Size:	79.2 KB ID:	75181Click image for larger version Name:	engine1.jpg Views:	323 Size:	80.0 KB ID:	75182Click image for larger version Name:	gearbox.jpg Views:	321 Size:	88.6 KB ID:	75183

    Nice job. Subscribed.

    Interesting approach to getting around the sump.
    Are those escort struts turned backwards?
    Is that and escort steering? LHD one?
    Mazda brakes?
