I fitted nearly everything on the car,the engine running fine,gearbox working well,breaks are perfect,first test drive was ok. I have to tell something about the gearbox. The gearbox housing is original,but everything inside of it is modified by an engineer. It is a 5 speed gearbox + reverse,he modified the ratios and he made it for a race,it means we don't have to use the clutch to change gears. The sign writer arrived with plenty of stickers and put them on the car,to give it a better look.

The 2.5L engine needed some work...resprayed the block,cleaned all bits for it,resprayed the rocker cover,replaced water pump,etc...:          Lots of bits waiting for refit them on the engine and suspension as well...  The paintwork made by me (The Mechanic)     We visited a workshop where the guys doing the bodywork....they are getting there.. :) 
My friend is dreaming about to drive it.... :D 
They do a professional job on it....it couldn't be in better hands.... While they worked on the body ,I started to work on the suspension,and some other bits Front axle: 
Rear axle: 
Two weeks after our visit in the workshop where they've been working on the body,my friend had a phone call. The boss called him saying the job is done we can pick up the body and the chassis and take it away... 
Some balance weight required.... :D 
Put it back on the ramp in our workshop....i have to work on it a bit more before we take it to the bodyshop to do the paintwork...
