Ok small update.

A few parts showed up today so thought I'd get them fitted and finally find out how little room (if any) we had to fit the filter.

Originally the trumpets were chopped down slightly and drilled for nitrous injectors, these were fine for when using nitrous but shocking when your not so a new set was purchased. The problem was that they are big and clearance between them and the bulkhead was extremely tight so it was hit and miss if the firewall was going to have to be cut off.

After squashing the filter into a shape it wasn't overly happy about I managed to get it on which although its tight to the firewall shouldn't be a problem as the engine is nigh on solid mounted, time will tell though.

Heres the pics of the trumpets etc..











As you can see its mega tight but I'm confident that it will be alright.

Only other part that showed up was a 11" Pacet Fan, it took all of 5 mins to fit but its another step closer to being complete now



Whilst I had my mop to hand I thought I'd just buzz over a part of the roof to see if there was anychance of improving the paint where it had faded so much, besides making a fooking mess everywhere I think it will come up fine, the edges are always a pain on red cars as you cant go anywhere near them with the mop so they will need to be finished by hand.

Please take note of what is reflecting in the roof lol



And thats it till the weekend, still waiting on the aeroquip and a few other parts but its really starting to get close to running finally.
