have been doing my for the build last 3 months,
a few pics of how i got her









as soon as i got it i got started ripping it apart ready for the b16 vtec conversion and test fit the subframe and measured up where to cut the bulkhead for the itb's





we then cut bulkhead and boxed in to suit





also had the itb manifold modified to help with clearance issues





next i started pottering with the dash wich i had fit the guages to already







i then treated myself to a few parts







i then put the engine together ready for a test fit again

[miniwade]

also got my fiberglass doors and front end


all was clear so we took it apart again and got it ready for paint,

i then sorted fuel tank, fuel pump and braided lines out

[miniwade]

once those had been test fit we took everything out and welded a few plates to sort some rust out and a bit of seem sealer the sprayed boot, cab and bulkhead in ford frozen white











thats where im up to for now hope you like and i will keep the thread updated

if it is how did you get one with the fuel pump?

it is yes,
we have modified the tank so the feed comes out at the lowest point on the side and then re located the pump to the boot floor and finally we raised the tank up an inch or so.
so fingers crossed all should be ok

managed to motivate myself today in the cold damp rubbish weather and started to put the fuel system back in.
i have had the tank modified so it feed through the bottom of the tank so can gravity feed the pump now
