Yes, it's so sad Brian is so off the scene. I know it ended badly and maybe there's some stuff he doesn't want to be reminded of, but in his way he altered the car scene, even those of us like me who are about to make a few changes.
And yep, the MK IV driver footboxes is massively over long (it covers the wing vents) probably because they used the Ford pedal boxes and cable clutch. Also the battery has to go rearwards as that covers the passenger vent!
Anyhow, I'm not just going to drop the engine and having it touch all the inner panels. When I'm finished it'll look factory and there won't be any evidence of tampering.
But we've sure got to get it right because there's not a 1/4" to waste....
