Update 28th November 2001

Ok I finally have some more images of the conversion process. It's progressing quite well now, most of the work has been done in the last week or so and it should be finished quite soon. The motor has been bolted in using VL Commodore engine mounts, and a custom gearbox cross-member has been made and fitted.

The intercooler has been fitted and most of the pipework completed, and looks great. The VR4 intercooler almost seems as if it were made for the car! The Microtech unit is now mounted in the position as seen in the photos, and the wiring is about halfway through.

The intercooler after having one end tank reversed...

These photos were taken on Friday and show the engine and the Microtech unit bolted in place, but nothing more as yet...
