Yeah, turbo over the gearbox, similar to Baracade's setup, and it looks like the radiator will be at the rear of the car due to lack of space in the engine bay !!!

I have a long waty to go but feel confident that I can make it work.

Yeap, intercooler on top, possibly modify bonnet and install a scoop.

Should fit without much drama.

Here is a photo of the new front bar for the sub-frame.

I will try and put it in place tonight and then i can commence joining the front and rear sections together.

I think they have one of those houses where the garage is out the front and sideways on the property, where people commonly put windows and blinds in so it doesn't look like a garage. I could be wrong. :D

Maybe he just has a sliding door on the family room :D

I like the idea of lying on carpet instead of concrete 8)

Ha, Ha,

It's actually at the rear of my garage facing sidewards (if that makes sense). Notice it is on a trolley that i can drive the car on to, then move it around anywhere i like.

The vertical blinds were left overs from the house reno so in the garage they went.

Although, i do have a TV in the garage, bummer the remote does not work.
