Welcome to Part 3 of Jonny's Austin Allegro V6 supercharged sleeper project, where he is converting the most hated British car and making it perform, handle and stop like a hot-ish hatchback. The 1977 Antique Gold Austin Allegro's drivetrain has been taken from a 1993 Rover 827 Si donor car, which has a Honda-derived C27A 2.7-litre 24v V6 and a manual 5-speed gearbox.

-The engine and gearbox are taken out, ready to finish engine bay and strut tower fab
-A whole lot of 3d laser scanning happens to the front suspension parts.
-3d printed caliper brackets are tried for size on the Wortec brake kit.
- Jonny opens the gearbox to fit a Quaife (automatic torque biasing) diff.
-Jonny starts stripping the C27A Honda V6 of its manifolds and cam covers.
-Midland Performance & Retro cut out the boot area for rear cooling & make a firewall.
-New adjustable GAZ Gold coilover dampers with adjustable top mounts.
