update. Things been on hold for a little while, slowly getting back into it just recently, no longer doing a four link rear end, have decided to try a caltrac type system, so will still be leaf sprung. Have been chipping away at bits and pieces in the engine bay, will post pics soon. Have also pulled all the steering box etc out to make way for a kp starlet rack and pinion. Its nice to have inspiration again :D

few pics of what s been happening. Scored a davies craig alloy electric waterpump, this little thing shifts 115l of water a minute! So no need for any of the bulky waterpump housing etc on the front of the motor, also mean braided water lines! The fittings and lines are -16an or 1" in the old terms.

will need to modify radiator, firstly to accept the fittings and secondly to move the location of the inlet and outlet slightly. Next up to mount the alternator and run a belt so i can work out where the braided lines will run, ive got a rough idea but need to be sure
