Not done much on it for a while so got out on it this weekend and done a bit. My plans have changed slightly and have decided to turbo it but still using the twin carbs. I am going to use low boost without lowering the compression ratio for now just to see how well it works.
I am still waiting for quite a few of the parts that i need so iv just been getting on with the parts i have for now.



2wd cossie intercooler and dump valve.



Front panel and bumper cut out ready.



The intercooler fitted in the bumper and bumper fitted to the car. Rad has been moved back a bit and moved to the right to get clearance for the hose outlets, just need to make new brackets.

And with everything back together. Need to modify spot light brackets and get them back on, it looks naked without them.

Did some work on the inside too, and got some of the dreaded wiring out the way.

Switchies in and cables run for the nitrous system and electric bottle opener.

And electronic boost control in wired in and working.



Even got the boost gauge and pod in.


I will have more of an update in the week when more of the parts arrive.
