Made a little progress over the weekend. Ive decided to fit a heater which i bought online from car builders solutions, it's a 4kw unit in a small box.

Made a distribution box from ally sheet as i wanted warm air blown into both foot wells, the main box is 1.5mm ally sheet folded with welded seams. The tubes were hand rolled from 1mm ally and tig welded up the seam, each tube is welded to the ally box section. The tube ends are blanked off with a hole in the side so that air is blown down over.
Next job was to start mounting the steering column. I paid a visit to a local scrap yard and came away with two UJ's attached to a 300mm rod from a corsa, this will be used to align the spitfire steering column to the lower steering box rod with a slight modification.
Will make a couple of adapters to mate the corsa UJ's to the spitfire parts.

Used the original spitfire steering column u clamp by fabricating a bracket to the front sub frame. You can see the steering column hanging off the bracket. The second picture is of the corsa steering column parts.
