Nice work, it looks like one sweet ride. I bet you must turn heads wherever you go :cool:

What did engineering cost you in the end if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks, very happy with it.......engineering cost $880, with that he also supplied me with a RWC.....went back to him 4 times before he passed it...picked the weirdest things! :finger:

What did he pick you up on?

Have you insured it? and if so what did that cost and what does it cover you for?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just about to go to the engineers so wouldn't mind any heads up you can give me

pick stuff more from a roadworthy opinion, and more stuff that the cops would target.......I had installed zenon head lights, with aftermarket globes...they came off.......had reversing wiring cable tied to one of the brake lines...they came off.......had to install a CAT.......all gromets in the firewall and boot........and it failed the brake test first time, too much rears, had to install a proportioning valve.......didn't question any of the welding, front engine mounts, gearbox mounts, diff mounts, adjustable rear A frame mounts, not even the rear rabbit ears on the calipers!

This engineering thing that you guys have to go thru sounds like way too much government on the surface. If the quality of the service is top notch, then it probably is worth it as far as assuring the road worthyness on projects. Is it required on everything or just modified projects?

I know there are cars here with brake jobs done by owners under the shade of the old apple tree that will put me in the garage when they are on the road.....

Anyway, smoking job on your ride..... Congrats
