lol@ bulding a booth, thats awesome.. its coming together nice man, when are you planning on getting the car sprayed the colour of the bay?

Mate, you're a fair nutjob *larfs*, what a huge effort, and the best bit of all is the HOME BUILT bit! Awesome job, keep it up. P.S. when you're done, you can come and start on mine... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol thanks guys.... yeah my missus keeps saying im a nut too starting to spray parts of the car orange.. ie bumpers guards bonnet etc... all extra parts ive got... will leave car white at the moment till car is tuned dragged etc... so as not to risk scratches on dyno at workshop and so on.. so i have all white stuff still on the car at the moment and will have all replacement parts that are orange and will paint roof rear guards and stuff last... i know it sounds wierd but itll work........ i hope Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey all been a while cause of work and stuff.... but heres a little update.. got my gt35/82 this week and are in the process of getting it ready to fit (lines and stuff) and are going to sand the compressor cover and airbrush it the same as my other turbo (T70) have ordered my turbosmart 38mm gate too and have airbrushed somemore fittings too... still waiting for paint on radiator hoses to dry properly before i put any spanners on em... so i spose its gettin quite close to tune time now once these two are fitted it will be dyno time everything takes forever to do on this engine... have to take my time one slip with a spanner...... =tears cheers for all the comments guys dave Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

This is particularly amazing. It's not enough you get to see the nitty gritty on a car of this quality. Looks fantastic. May I ask what you're radiator was worth?

I love it Love the spray booth and especially love the fuel system idea in the boot. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thanks guys yeah the radiator was 1700 with thermo, the hoses (top and bottom) were nearly 900 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

That's cool, it's mint as. That's around the price range I was thinking. 16" single thermo? And are you painting the rest of the car? If not, I like the idea of a nuts bay on an externally standard looking car.

yeah 16 inch thermo i will end up painting the rest of the car same color but for now will bring it out as it is... for drag racing and dyno tuning. then later do the color change on the body... just want to drive it its been 5 years now Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

only a little update guys..... pulled the 3582 apart and started sanding it on the weekend gettin casting marks off.... still alot of sanding still to do how it looks originally yuk! need to hit it with 189 wet sandpaper now then work up in grades so still a while to go but should look killer..... i hope Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey guys... i know its not much but a little update just to show that something is actually happening with this neverending build put on my bottom radiator hose today and have started to plumb up the 3582 (water and oil lines) still have to put all the braided lines together though anyway enjoy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey guys spent the last two days solid on the car and got pretty far with it i pulled the dump off and cut off the v band rear and welded on the 4 bolt flange bolted the screamer to the turbosmart gate and repainted it fitted up the wastegate screamer, turbo lines and boost reference just need to fit the turbo housing up and the top radiator hose and it'll be time to start ti yay after 5 years Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Great work mate, love this thing!!!

lotsa wood there, reminds me of my false backseat haha

i think im in love

Holy geez, I've been meaning to read this thread for a while. Going to a lot of effort and sparing very little expense, and it all shows. Looking forward to seeing it completed and even looking forward to seeing the next steps. Orange/Blue/Red in the bay looks good. Making your own booth, you're insane - I like it.

watch the dirt in those cracks on the floor, seriously... it'll come up quick!

Nothing a slight hose down won't fix?

thanks for the comments guys in regards to the booth we are only using it for primer / putty spray at the moment... still have to concrete floor and install extraction fans before any clear is sprayed onto car panels or box. if its only something small ie turbo housing can use an airbrush which doesnt kick up much dust... and as bax said can wet the floor down too. should have the new turbo housing and top radiator hose on this weekend.. just waiting for the clear to set properly Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
