coated and still fits

been doing bits and bobs that take time 1.2" npt blank to a m10x1 sensor

heater air blank to reduce flow from the engine bay to the intake of the heater 

propshaft adaptor fits like a glove

propshaft ends put in place to work out tube length

tube cut, will get it spun up on a lathe to make sure the ends of square and offset correctly then weld, new UJ's and off to balance 

front cross memeber capped off where it was slightly trimmed to fit and spacers painted then bolted up for good on the car 

another small job that takes up more time then it should, had to see but 2 lower intercooler mounts all radiusd edges painted 

3" pipe pie cut for the boost pipes, all filed buy hand again, few straight cuts and a few wide and narrow bends 

made 2 new intake plates that will bolt on, 3 " hole saw down the middle then used an old intake spacer to get them pretty close  bolt wise 

makes a 12" spal fan look tiny, fan switch bung wired on, will go inbetween the rad and intercooler so it will be fitten away to make the engine bay  look cleaner and make use of dead space, another water outlet welded on the other side too 

cleance hole put in place for the new temp sensor 

the coolant res thats has been made, anything to help increase the coolant capacity 

res will go upto the heater and down to the radiator

made a start on the gear selector mechanism, chopped up 2 housings to get the extra length with a selector rod inside to get the pretty close to lined up

has been welded more, selector is pretty tight as its moved a tad 

i did end up using abit of 40 grit then polished it up with this  finer stuff, had nothting long enough to get down there so used a long tail but the head off put a slit down the centre and put a piece of emmery cloth in here along with pinching it in the vice to hold it. did a loverly job

This is my kind of build right here. Very nicely done!

I bet the purists probably don't like this, but screw them! This thing looks like a blast!

This thing is insane. Definitely not a swap I would think of doing, but it looks like it will be a blast to drive. I like the mad max look you have going too.
