I will see you soon to pilfer whichever unions take my fancy.

Nice looking swirl pot as well.

 

They will be hidden when you come round

 

Hurry up and finish it bud

 

Please sir when its finished can I have my bonnet sprayed ??

 

And my arches back haha playing aside the work you've done is great Ry love this thread

Martin

 

Finished?

 

LOL,tbho I have just been spending some time at home with the family who normally I hardly see,it's made for a nice change!

Today though I did go in for a bit and got the brake lines run behind the dash and over by the glove box ready to make a mount for the bias valve along with installing the 3 way block that runs through the car to the back end,I also got the cusco triangle brace installed ready to start mocking up the external fuel setup plus battery.
I will be making a alloy tray for the fuel setup to sit in which will be rubber mounted to keep noise a bit lower and will also be a fuel catch tray should a leak ever occur.

 

I bet you do. Don't be rushing it now......

 

So the last couple of days have been spent mocking things up to see how I need things changed and if the dash fitting are the right angles,a couple need changing but all in all I have most needed now.
I will be having a piece machined for the top of the PAS pump to allow for an adapter to be fitted for dash fittings.
Also the changes I had done on the manifold were to have the normal push on pipe connection area cut away and a piece welded in it's place as I am braiding the boost pipes as well to which some threads have been tapped in the back of the manifold to allow adapters to be fitted plus I also have the normal outlet for the servo welded over,the throttle body is also ready for painting after a little filler work,the manifold just needs the weld around the throttle mount point flatting and filling but I ran out of belts for my sander lol so that will have to wait!.I have now smooth the manifold right up and will be painting it in a colour yet undecided.
The external fuel setup is now being mounted on the carbon plate as first thought about which tbf looks alot nicer than an alloy tray.

The final pic is the car covered over as I'm off on holiday next week so tucked away she go's.

 

As said many times, your attention to detail is second to none, have a nice break, really looking forward to seeing this with my own eyes!

 

Holiday..... What's that????

 

Thanks James and we will sort something out for you when I come back off holiday bud

 

Have a good one Ryan when you get back can we have a chat about
Header tank,bonnet spray ?

 

Thanks Dave and we will sort that out no worries mate

 

Are you going somewhere warm?

 

Not quite mate,going to centre parks

 

Never been but have heard good things about them. Have fun but nothing too strenuous.

 

The cars taking shape now Ryan, and have a good holiday mate...

 

Looking good so far mate can't wait to see it finished

 

inlet fanny mold and TB are going to look lovely Ryan...what are the holes for in the back of the IM?

 

heh he said fanny

 

Thats one of those words that makes you chuckle like a 10 year old 'moist' makes me chuckle like that too!!


This stiiiiiiilllllllll not finished Ryan?

 

You must like pop up books Ian without words
The holes are for the adapters to thread into as I'm braiding the boost solenoid/map sensor pipes as well with proper screw on unions.

 

Looking like one of the most detailed builds ive seen, just goes to show what can be achieved when that amount of hard work is put in. Looks amazing fella im soo bloody jealous lol

 

Big thanks to Joe as well for bringing down the Prodrive spoiler as I've been after one for a while now:ncool:

After the mornings talk it was time to crack on so me and the dash king Rossco got cracking,got the boot fuel setup all bar done except for a couple of P-clips[sorry Ross the pipe isn't secured] and one more clamp for the fuelpump.
I'm very happy with how it turned and how it looks.
Got one of the lines done in the engine bay but I need a few unions swapping for different angles to make them run where they need to and also a bracket for mounting the distribution block needs fabing up,all fuel lines in the bay will have goodridge fire sleeve/heat shrink ends
Manifold is now all smoothed and ready for etch/priming and paint along with throttle which I also did a little more smoothing and got rid of the lines running around the circumference.
Last job was swapping over the water pipes in the turbo for dash type but still need the right size pipe to finish them.

Hopefully by the end of next week I will have the header/PAS tanks back from Bennet after a few mods he's carrying out plus have the unions changed over and PAS adapter bracket will also be finished from the machine shop which will allow us to finish all the lines up:thumbup:

 

Looks great Iron man

 

Cheers dude,like a BO55

 

Must be nearly there now Ry

 

Looking good Ryan, it's not a Sunday night without an update from you mate

 

LOL cheers Gez appreciated fella,yours is coming together well too!
