That's looking fab. Great work by Ed.

Engine looks superb, just the sort of engine porn I love seeing.

When do you think it will be fitted up and on the rolling Road?

Looks superb is this project running behind?

There have been a lot of delays due to bad parts; hoses, injectors, two sets of coils, all new and returned due to manufacturing defects. Also the rockers and crankshaft (engine had to be disassembled and rebuilt to replace).

I was over at DMC Europe on Friday;



Took some repaired panels & doors on the trip out, brought the car back to Chris N on return. Rough trip, awful weather for towing.



Ed has the Legend Industries show engine now, still needs some reassembly;



According to Ed Legend switched all their engines to compressor-aft configuration after the first time they tried fitting into the DMC-12 engine bay, the lack of clearance was a show stopper.

Ed making some final adjustments;



Still plenty of work to do, gearbox problems, brakes, A/C, fascia paint, trim, lots of other details. Ed couldn't get it fully tuned due to the non-drivable state, looks like the car will have to go back to the Netherlands some time in the spring. Might take the opportunity to upgrade to Ed's larger (stock-looking) wheels, which should be ready by then (1" more diam back and front, 3" more width on the rears).

3" more width on the rears).

Are you sure? That would make it go from 235 to 310mm, almost 36% wider!

Hello Starglider,
where will you mount the A/C compressor? on the left valves cover like stock?
Best regards

Such an exciting thread!
It must be quite a rush visiting your monster as it is being completed.
