yer man looking good

thanks for that chap,still got lots more to do yet,just made up the brackets to hold the vitara power steering pump today and in order for that to fit we have had to cut the shaft which holds the steering wheel down about 1 and a half inches,got that on now and now we have just got the double pulley for the crank to take the power belt and fan belt,but we had to re drill the holes as the standard 1.3 v-groove pulley has 4 holes where as the double pulley has 5 but all off set...and also that the pump that bolts on the engine with the pipe is about 2inches 2 big,so now we have cut a small section out of the chassis then reinforced it to get round that problem....will post photos of that soon....no for a chill out as off up to the indoor 4x4 show at donnington on sunday...great early morning start.lol
