Depends on clearance. Obviously the M/C has to be attached directly to the pedal, so if I keep the standard pedals I have to have the M/C in the stock position. To completely eliminate it from the firewall (if that's needed) then I'll need to use a pedal box.

Either way will involve ABS deletion too... Like I said, we shall see!

Started putting it all back together. Not looking too bad... still missing some cam covers though!

Stripped the box of the bellhousing, slave cylinder, rear mount etc so that I could test fit:

This has the propshaft fitted into the back of the gearbox, but it's just held on the jack for positioning. It's *roughly* in the right place. This is how it lines up:

As you can see, it's about 3cm too far forwards (you can see the alu prop behind the shifter). It's going to a gearbox place before the car's finished to get some hardened parts in it, so I will ask if they can cut and weld the shifter assembly to move it further back.

getting there how much longer do you think it will take ?

No idea. I am waiting on a rear gearbox mount from Toyota that's got to come from Japan, so it won't be here until the end of the month. Then I can check final clearances and stuff on the box in its correct position. Then I need to find a decent gearbox place round here who can strip the box and change the thrust washer, output bearing plate and 1st/2nd gear selector fork... And that's just the gearbox!! Still need about £2.5k of engine bits to make it all fit together. Like I've said before, I'm in no rush. Probably not going to buy anything more for it for a couple of months.

Gearbox mount has finally turned up! Overnight parts from Japan my ****...
