Had the meeting with the Engineer on Monday out at Nissco. Had to be able to put the car up on a hoist for the inspection.
Got a long list of things to do but I am getting brakes, diff and seats all engineered at the same time.
The engineer was very positive and helpful. Passed the engine mounts, gearbox ppf mount without hassle. Got to work out diff choice, brakes and seats.
As such I am cancelling my entry to PI in Dec and am starting to strip the car tomorrow. I will start a thread soon and put some pics up.
Hoping to have it back on the road by the end of Jan at the latest.

Quick update.
Engine and gearbox are in, car is due to go to the fabricators this week for sump, intercooler, radiator, oil cooler and dump pipe.
I have some pics but have not had a chance to do anything with them as I have just started a new job and have been doing some house renovations.
Might get some time next week to start a new post.

Damn you're a busy guy! Best of luck with it all!
When results speak for themselves - don't interrupt.
