that thing looks great, gonna have a mean machine on your hands in the future. the tie die paint job at the start was great, the yellow might be an improvement IMO though haha :D .

Front spoiler was done bending E23 hood by hand, first made pattern, and after that 2 large pieces from center, and two side parts from similar pattern...
Took me one long night of metal fabrication and around 3 days till all was welded from both sides, as I weld to seal properly.
But as it's quite low, already bent it 2 times, now have pniaumatrix in front and back, hopefully wont happen again = ] .

(You can see how leafs separate, and when lifting easy to see how 2 spring bushes ease off as bag starts to take more and more weight):

Lift around 10cm @ 5bar, bag limit 8 bars...

Also all stuff for another side pipe and other missing parts to make van almost complete, but....

Would like to ask for Your help on main part that is needed for this swap,
I know everybody is looking for her, but I‘m now in great need of MT75 2wd gearbox, as once I broke Type 9 with 12 valve engine, believe another same box wont hold 24V, so please give Me a shout if someone has this stuff.
I also open on offers of borg warner t5 , mustang V6, quaife or any other stuff, that will hold torque (planing to supercarge van bit later).
