By lowering the front of the chassis, I was able to get the engine in, complete with gearbox, without having to get too much of an angle on it. |

| Time for a quick trial fit of the body as I need to see if the radiator and expansion bottle will fit and how the air intake is going to go. | |
The late model Sierra Donor car had the fuel injection pump fitted in the fuel tank. I recovered this and extended the pipe work for it to work in the Sumo tank which is deeper. I also removed the combined fuel level mechanism as I will be using the separate Sumo one. |
I cut out a hole where the normal pipes were and fitted the Sierra pump. |
Rolling chassis, using the Sierra wheels |
The lights are all wired up and tested ok |
