Most of the top-side stuff done, all mounts tightend. Just need to raise it up and do all the under-side stuff now!

I usually put it on jackstands high enough to crawl under when I install the drivetrain. Then I can do it all in one shot.

Possibly helpful tip. Keep up the good work otherwise.

Luckily on a 4-post lift here, so hit the buttons and up it goes! Dad has a decently equipped garage so it’s rare we do anything outside on the ground anymore :)
At the racetrack however, is a different story...

I’ve always been keen on the Zetec engines. I wanted to stuff one into my Ford Aspire back in the day.

They’re not bad engines, and there’s plenty of aftermarket for them aswell, even RWD kits for the Caterham’s and such.

Orly? I might have to look into one for my NA Miata project.
