Ive got the front end buttoned up now so cant get in with a tape - this is the dimensions though, just stock meg2 size.

Hot side boost hose done.
Chopped about the other forge megane hardpipe kit to fit better. Home made swage tool in use again
Next job was to trim the lower bumper panel to fit again. Had to keep it as it joins the arch liners, without it they would flap all over. Not much left but serves a purpose.
Stuck the holesaw through the recess behind the plate and binned the plastic that fits in front of the crash bar, to give a little bit of extra airflow for track use.
Tidied up some other loose ends, wiring clipped into place and done some actuator tests on the engine loom, checked rad fan was working etc, all good on low/high speed, aux coolant pump working.
Did plan on fitting the fuel tank and fuel line today but its freezing outside so that can wait until next week.

Small update
Lux suede geargaitor fitted and interior pretty complete
Cleaned most of the shite out of the back, its comedy how small the load area is. Get the same amount of gear in the back of a clio2 with no seats in. Fuel tank shows how short it is :LOL:
Quick clean up. Just sat on ph1 225 alloys with knackered tyres at the moment until its ready to go on the road.
Back end needs to come down a bit. Considering doing my Compomotives anthracite, to save cleaning all the time. Will see.

OMG that van looks so much like postman Pat's it's obscene!! Brilliant!
Is there a wider rear axle you could bosh on there somehow?? Wheels look a bit too much tucked in.

I reckon if you brake hard the back wheels will be off the floor, or bloody near to it ,
Loving the converted vans what’s next v6 in a traffic?

Id call that rustvan not racevan @DaveL485 
Rear track width is fine @Big Steve - Raider its just sat in high et megane wheels for now, the compomotives fill the arches better.
No more van projects after this one @gordini stu especially with the new project ‘x’ in the garage
