"Hmmm Always wanted a high powered herald!"

used to know a lad with a v8 herald when i had my 2.0 zetec spitfire, engine fitted well and went well in a straight line

bit more of an update......
i had more or less finished the bulkhead and sides, and needed to look at the heater and aircon.
i have taken the aircon out, no room for it. and ive cut down the heater box.

i made a cold air vent for the heater.





then i weld a piece in to fill the gap on the windscreen pillers.





then it was time to look at the dash top area and steering shaft mount.


ive made a bar link the pillers and then a loop for the shaft mounting.
