now for the more interesting bits some of you may know we no longer have a gear stick in the car. its now going to be all air shifted via paddles on the wheel . yes it is still a h pattern gearbox with an air assisted clucth just to try something new that a good friend has being playing with. more pictures of the rear of the car to come aswell with the whole boot being cut out for undertray and air tank / compressor setup

as you can see i have installed a new dash and moved all the switches down to where the gear stick used to be to try to make it easier for me and remove clutter of the columb

new exhaust is made to suit the new tray at the rear in the pic you can see the new compressor and air tank that has been mounted for the air shift

a bit of a blur but the new 4age engine has been built new cp pistons  4agze rods 7 rib block etc  and piper cams have set the timing and basically started straight away after waikatio engine re conditioners have done all the testing and machining on the block with a home ported head from dad.
