I do my best keeping it up to date but i always work alone so end up flying ahead and then realise i have left the good camera at home so end up using my phone or not at all.

Thanks god it's Friday. All I have wanted to do all week is get in the garage and carry on getting the car back together.

Decided to paint the boost pipes and turbo intake pipe black. Probably not the best colour due to heat but this is no race car.

Going to collect them tonight.

More pics to follow after this weekends work but here are some to start the weekend off.

You must be enjoying the warmer weather a little more

, its starting to get cold here, there is nothing worse than being stuck under a carport in the rain/cold all day

Loving the inlet pipes, maybe i should look at getting something like this made, i guess it pays to know someone as custom fabrication can get expensive

Cheers mate, yes enjoying it immensely!

It's funny how quickly you get used to it though. I have a new plan to remedy that

Seem to be working at a snails pace but I'm almost there

Couple more water hoses to connect and i can get the front end back on

Had to modify the metal water pipe that run round the block as it was failing on my turbo intake pipe.

Stock one on the right and modified one on the left

I'm new to welding so don't laugh

After a lick of paint

Also added a take off to the bottom of the turbo intake for the evap system

Secured the fuel filter

Couple images of the bay

These were from last night but crap quality but its getting there

Thanks for looking

Almost there

Ran into a problem though. The inline filler I got is the wrong size so sending it off to my fabricator whilst I'm on holiday he'll modify it to the correct size inlet and outlet and some small other changes.

Also my callipers were sent off for painting a fews weeks ago and as per usual there were delays so wont get them back till next week. Second year in a row ill be working to the bone trying to get ready for MIVW

Modified in-line filler
From this

Home made projector headlamps fitted

Callipers painted red

Oh and yes she's alive
