It's been a while since I updated this thread, but progress has been made:
Cut out the whole floor
Made front and rear crossmembers for the flat floor, with holes for the coolant tubes
Made a rolling "frame table" that I can level to support the car for the next step. It was also good tig welding practice
I would like to thank my Dad for bringing the Quickjacks, it was so much faster and less stressful than how I got it on the rotisserie in the first place.
Finally, I just finished cutting out the whole tunnel, which brings things up to date
The next step(s) are acquiring a K24 & transmission, finalizing seat position which means buying a seat, the Cobra Imola wide for the driver, probably a cobra Monaco for the passenger since 2 Imolas next to each other are too wide to fit between the windows.
Once I get at least the drivers seat I will get mounts made up and relocate the center crossmember to a location that will best protect my rear from any road debris.
From there I can work out shifter, heater, ac and wire routing before building a new tunnel.
I will also have to cut out the mount point for the stock pedal box/steering support to give as much forward space for underfoot master cylinder pedals as possible. And I have found that I will have to use motorcycle chain and sprockets or a timing belt and cogs to shift steering input to a better position between and above the future brake and clutch pedals.
