Motor fired up ok... then there was the "small" issue with the rear diff and exhaust clearance...ended up with having to go with a JDM non finned open diff for now, plans always included Quaife anyway..












Now I have to get the rear valance modified/resprayed becuase it doesn't clear the bigger exhaust tips.... will I ever manage to get the car back?

Looking good mate! Bet you are V excited!

Surely that diff issue is nothing a dremel and a cutting disc couldnt fix. Its not ''gash'' im sure it would be/look fine, working with aluminium and all.
