very very nice mate, infact you may just beat me finishng it lol. Im aiming for 8wks to be copmplete. (im dreaming really but im trying) engine combo looks sweet mate, any ideas of numbers?

Should make 250ish with that turbo through an Auto.....be responsive with that small rear aswell....you'll wanna go bigger eventually....Lol.... Why'd you choose that turbo out of interest? Did it come up cheap?

also are you fitting a vt booster? Ive just noticed your firewall were the booster sits is alot different to mine and i dont know how a vs booster will fit there?!

Yer i'm aiming for 250-300, see what we can squeeze outta it I chose that turbo so it would spool up nice and quick and b a nice little combo for the street. Bought it brand new off a mate.

Nah fitting a VS booster... thats how it was on the fire wall when I removed the standard booster. Ive made a plate up thats being welded in there 2 fit the 2 bolt VS booster, I did wonder why the VS one didnt bolt straight up for me. Doubt I will be finished before u ben... its been at the paint shop since september and thats all they have done Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Update : Finally got my car back last week, holes all welded up. chassis rails boxed in, firewall seam smoothed etc... Here are a few pics. Got a few months of work ahead of me now, just gotta find the time to do it with 2 jobs. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

bay looks great Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

why didnt you get the bumps and **** taken out of the bits near the strut towers? looks good Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

how the hell are u gonna change the x member if u need too???i like the rail squaring how come you didnt smooth the rest??.

the x member bolts dont turn coz there locked in, Just undo the nuts under neath and bolt will stay there.

true didnt even cross my mind.

Hope your not letting Clinton tune it...Lolz..heard he had another one go *Snap, Crackle POP!* at Turbo Tune the other week?...Wanna make yours 3? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The bumps were supposed to be smoothed aswell but im over it... it had been there way to long and it wasnt done when I picked it up and really couldnt be bothered waiting another year for it. Yes Clinton will be tuning it and he has my 100% confidence... didnt hear bout it and im sure theres 2 sides to every story
