A new fuel tank was purchased for the car. Metallic one was preferred since it had to be modified. Fuel supply pipes were moved to the bottom of the tank, since the fuel pump used cannot suck. Two pieces of 8mm pipe were equipped with brass sieves and welded in place. The tank was protected using paint and underbody coating.

The engine fasteners were finished and the return line for oil from the turbo was attached to the oil sump. Those are presented in the picture 21a. The latter is indicated by red arrow. A fastener for the anti-roll bar is visible in the picture, too.

The driveshafts are shown in picture 21b. All of the joints are checked and re-lubricated.

Arrangement of the engine and other parts is visible in the picture 22a. The view is from the place of the front wheel at the right side of the car. As the engine did not have sump mounted at the time of photographing, the flywheel and gearbox shows well. Turbo is located between the engine and steering gear, behind the alternator. Oil pump and crankshaft are clearly seen, too.

Picture 22b is taken at the opposite side of the car. Driveshaft has been put in place. Note how close to the chassis the gearbox cover is! Whole assembly rests on a wooden log while the engine mountings are not in place. On the other hand, the engine could not drop. It would only get stuck in the engine compartment!

The next task was to fit the oil filter stand and oil hoses. The original filter was located on the front of the engine but it could not be installed there because of the very limited space. Therefore, a special low-profile adapter was needed for the oil lines. The filter was mounted between the distributor and the radiator, as shown in picture 23. The radiator is not shown there, but it will be behind the filter stand.

The radiator was modified a little since the mounting for bottom water hose was on the wrong end and behind the starter motor. The original opening was blocked and a new one soldered to the opposite end.

The carburetors needed some kind of a throttle linkage. It was constructed using old recycled throttle parts and a piece of steel rod. The system contains no throttle cable.

The carburetors were covered with a homemade plenum. It contains also hose fittings for boost gauge, wastegate and fuel pressure regulator as well as for bypass valve.

The doors were fitted in the car. These contained some accessories from Ritmo, for example the lock handles. Electrical window winders were made from a wiper motor and a piece of chain. The motors are current-limited since they have enough torque to snap fingers...

Suspension was the last major missing component of the car. Because there were no sport shock absorbers and springs available for the 127 model, those were made by a specialized company. As result, the car was equipped with Spax adjustable low-pressure gas absorbers. The front struts are also adjustable-height. The rear transverse leaf spring was retained but its mounting was modified a little to have a lower ride height.
