should have also mentioned the cable shift set up that is in between the seats
seat tunnel needed some work. was not central, required a cut and shut to get the passenger seat in properly which was a bit of a surprise. apparently it is normal to have the tunnel slightly offset

and working the way back a bit further, here is the view into the business end.
dual setrab mounted on a modified version of what used to be the spare tyre rack.
originally this was mounted central to the two vents/grilles but that had to changed again once the exhaust arrived
from the top:
and you can see it better from the side here too

sorry, not sure how to rotate on photobucket, so please tilt your head to the right for that top pic! EDIT. take that back looks like it works now
quite happy with how the muffler worked out, attached to the opposite side of the rear gearbox mount (front in a bug)
love my side exit pipe, just like I had on the bug
also note the nuts on either end of the upper suspension arms. loosen these (reverse thread) and with a few twists you have a adjusted rear camber.

here is a similar shot from a different angle
you can see the path of the exhaust over the shock tower X brace, which had to be modified also to fit the muffler set up
it is all pretty tight in there, especially around the starter motor. not much spare room.
to be honest I was amazed that the muffler/collector etc was able to be built by remote control and sent over. I thought that there would be more modificiation required to make it fit

this one from above really shows how tight it all is.
exhaust system is a tangerine 4-2-2-1 which is a good match for the engine kit.
look carefully and you can also see the berg mid mount
I had originally intended to use one of the cb type trans mounts/strap set ups but was recommended against it with this exhuast system

here is the final pic of the mounting set up to the chassis
pic is not very illustrative. sorry
is a 914 engine mount, which is somewhat of a U shape, sits under the pulley
utilized this with a mount welded to the chassis, with rubber mounts to control movement upwards and downward.
gives me three mounting points - gearbox end, berg mid and 914 engine.
should be enough but will see. could add a strap and mount somehow above the box in the mid position but not sure that this would really be necessary

can also see handbrake cables and shifter cables in the above pics.
will defineately need some heat sheilds in this as there is a lot of stuff running close to hot bits in the engine

From here you can see the 'front' of the engine that you are used to seeing when you lift the lid on a bug.
Shows the 914 engine mount (black, under the pulley) as well as gives you an indication of just how close you will be sitting to the screaming 45mm dellortos.
Things are all pretty tight in there.
At the end of the chassis mock up stage we were lifting the engine and box in and out in one go on an engine crane. With the rear, mid and engine mounts it was a tight fit. Add to that the spagetti exhaust, cross brace spanning between the shock towers and the oil cooler mounts and you get the picture.
Wish there was an easier way to get the exhaust in and out but dont see it.
anyway here is another pic showing the view between the seats with a panel removed.
up side is that with this setup (clamshell) the access is brilliant once the lid is lifted
