I’m so damned existed for you Johnny, I really can’t wait to see this finished , the amount of work and the amazing detail that you are all putting into this build is outstanding, im a bit jealous, will a say little bit 😜 I’m actually jealous as hell , only in a good and loving way 😁, I’m at the age where I grew up with these things , we used to call them EGG ROLLS ,😂😂, not sure if that was just a Scottish thing , love how you are bringing this once probably hated car back to life as a sleeper , what a great idea , it’s crazy how something that i personally hated when I was young and now doing a complete 180 to now loving it , crazy as hell , and to do it in that same colour is priceless 🤣🤣, love your videos buddy , just not keen on you doing the electric ones , keep the great work going tho , sending love from Scotland ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I limited steering lock to save a wide wheel from connecting with a modern gear box. Makes no difference driving at speed. Only frustration is parking, but it is so entertaining that a few extra back and forths is worth it. Can’t wait to see this run…love this build.

Absolutely love the thought process behind this. 😎 All I’d say is be wary of the clearance (or lack of it 😄). My GT3 and previous ones have so little clearance if a decent sized stone finds its way in it jams and grinds a lovely groove into the barrel of the wheel. 🤦🏼‍♂️😄 I dare say if it hit that transfer pipe it could split it. I’m sure it will be massaged a bit further though, as Adam says. Top work anyway. Super attention to detail. Exactly the type of details I’d want on a build. Even the non bucket seats. But yes… you’re definitely falling out of those on track. 😂 Looking forward to the next episode. 👍🏻 PS. That T7 gear is making me want a Honda engine to put in something. Lovely stuff. 😎

If you need power steering, check out the electric (EPS) used in Fiats. It sits in the column just below the switchgear. No engine bay compromise. The 169 Panda is similar size to the Allegro so Panda EPS should do the job. Heater blower could be given a fan speed control knob. Just put it somewhere suitably Allegro.

Looking good, some Cobra RS (RSRs are a bit on the "tight" side, I have a set in a car) trimmed in suitable brown vinyl with the super bright fabric inserts....I'm imagining the Recaro strobe style material used in the old school JDM stuff but with the Austin text & flying L logo...that would be epic. There are some decent aftermarket shifters out there too, I bought a copycat one from eBay & swapped all of the bearings, fixings & with a few machiing tweaks it's been bang on. Very cost effective.

Honda do make a fantastic gear shift feel, even on a lowly jazz it's still a joy

I like how there's "In comparison to the original allegro the gear shift is really short". Yeah, although maybe it's not the worst part of an allegro, I doubt anybody's ever used an allegro as any kind of benchmark for sweet shifting excellence!

I had a Vauxhall Firenza I shoehorned a Rover V8 3.5l into. That shifter up the road quite well,, and it looks like this is going too also. Nice fab work 2x👍

Best car project on KZfaq. Hope to be doing the same in an allegro Vanden Plas because I’m posh.

You've gotta love the way Johnny says, ''I've changed the engine and I've changed blah blah".. 😅😂😂 He made the decision to have things changed😂😂😂 It's going to be cool when ADAM finishes it...
