Some pictures of my brothers panel van, bought off ebay as a non runner for £200, still got a fair bit of work to do, but it's getting there.

Using RJES bell housing with the turbo clutch set up, RJES loom, DK box, home made engine bar and stainless exhaust system





It works!

What does a subaru do to engine/ground clearance. Could you still fit syncro cage to a subaru with the shortened sumps?

RJES mentions Syncro specific parts on his site IIRC, so they must go in.  Infact i think he runs a syncro anyway

Random update of worlds worst build thread,  it's back from the paint shop and it's now all shiny.

Got to pop the engine back in and find all the bits that we've lost, sort the brakes and do something to the suspension. 

Excuse the crap phone pictures, I will take some decent ones shortly.... possibly!
