Default boot lid

Hi all

Further to my other reply I have a deon gt with the ford cosworth V6 engine fitted and I have the proper engine cover and boot lid with no bulge. It is a tight fit but I can tell you it can be done.
I lowered the engine by machining the engine mounts by 20mm as in my opinion deon had placed the ford engine a little to high.This resulted in the drive shafts being at a angle when the car sat on it's wheels.
By lowering the engine and box 20mm it still no lower than the lowest part of the chassis and meant the proper engine cover and boot lid could fit. The drive shafts now are at a better angle albeit still slightly angled down towards the wheels.
