Once again rob car looks great! nice catchin up with ya dude, cheers for the comments. thanks to everyone else for their comments and ill be sure to keep u updated. rims are ve supersports as for custom plates, probly not gonna worry weezy. although they would look cool, i wanna keep a pretty low profile on the streets.... if i can lol. custom plates certainly wont help that.

I think he means, would the paint near/around the turbo be affected.. I had a mate who built a turbo EH, would be about 20 years ago now, but yeah, his was a show car, he drove it about 200km's to a show. Had to have the bonnet and inner guards re painted after the drive..

the paint on the rocker cover has been affected, which will be fixed soon. thats the only problem so far. i expect to have to repaint the bonnet after a year or two maybe, as the heat is sure to end up getting to that. the housing has been extreme hot coated tho and i have a turbo bag in mind too, so may not have to do any repainting, we'll see. the bay is protected by the metal heat shielding so that should be fine.

Beanie bag fitted and hasn't got hot or bubbled since. Please tell me you ain't going to drive it on 20's and 25+psi, thats tempting fate cheers darren Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
