Andy,its a handy thing about being I the middle of a tyre shop and bodyshop , 5 strong lads and a stack of old tyres  ;) , it is supported well and believe it or not actually not that heavy , all of us were shocked how easily it went over , engine and box needs to stay in to make sure all the brake linkage clears and works also gear linkage and pedals , overhead welding is never as neat as welding side on or downwards hence rolling it over, car is extremely strong now so I have no concerns or worries about it and this way I can make sure everything is 100% on it , just remember this is a real "one off" and everything needs to stay together to make sure it all works together , easy bit done now (metal work) now the fun begins!!!, its a shame we hadn't done it before you came over, i'd loved to have seen your face  :D

Interesting prop shaft.  I would think take the opportunity to get a Hardy-Spicer one made (see technical thread).

a few more pics of the Lambda, had to make a center cross member to mount an astura cross shaft on for the brakes, used an aprilia pedal box and made a lever to reverse the action of the brake pedal, hopefully will be back on it again soon however I'm as always up to my eyeballs with various other projects also

I hope the rear axle oil seals are in good condition, or there will be a lot of oil in one of the brakes. Or did you think of that and drained it first?
