Very nice Dale.. I think I'd be tempted to carry those stripes over the roof n' boot too ?? It's such a nice colour ! The boot is done too mate, the roof would have been too much i think. Thanks guys, i'm looking forward to getting the clear done today. |

Well, that doesn't look aggressive at all Dale, nit the slightest bit.  It looks real forkin' tuff! More attitude than a teenage girl! |

Dennis, Bruce, Joe.. thanks guys, i'm pretty happy with it's look, very agressive, can't wait to get the engine in. BUT, first things first, the roof lining, and hinged the boot lid tonight too.    |

Got the engine inserted, have to remake the intake, as it did not sit where the hole in the bonnet is unfortunately. Also made some coil packs, and mounted them on the side if the inner fenders. Ran an oil line from the sump to the turbo too.    |

That's some wild stuff right there Dale. Too bad about the intake/ hood scoop alignment issues but I'm pretty sure that a guy with your skillset will be able to negotiate that fairly easy. Good move with the coil packs as well. Very much looking forward to the next few moves with this one.

Guys, THANK YOU very much  I am running into problems everywhere today, had to re do the radiator supports, as there was no way i could hook up the Turbo's with out moving it forward. So then i made a Thermo fan for it, and re-made both my radiator hoses. Second drama, the intake was not working for me, was just not right, and im still trying to sort that drama.    |

Coming together nicely Dale despite all the trouble it's giving you. It's just a matter of time before you get that whole intake ordeal sorted out. Looking forward to more.

Joe, Bruce, Martin, thank you guys, she's finally making progress. I got the intake finished late last night. Just need to sort the exhaust now, that is not something i am looking forward to due to the large diameter it will be. This is all you see on the outside.  A different beast on the inside. I made the inlet pipes out of allot, but they looked wrong in silver so painted them black.  |

I am off work for a few days due to pulling a muscle in my back, so what else is there to do..... I made some battery cables, including heat shrinking the ends, and finished off the battery with a couple of decals. Found a pump to replicate a big (Word Censored By Forum Administrator) fuel pump, also spun up a fuel cap on the Lathe.    Then on to the exhaust, i used some of the exhaust bits from the kit, some cutting and shaping i ended up with something quite UGLY.  Thinking of a way of coting it, i thought exhaust wrap would be good, but how ? So i cut some strips of mashing tape, and wrapped it. It hid the joins perfectly.  Then i painted it with some VHT High Temp exhaust paint... fitting really.  |
