sure is. well she went on the road last thursday.......on monday the turbo blew up
apparently t34's dont like running 38psi
. turbo was taken off & sent off to cr turbos on wenesday. got it back on saturday morning so shes back on the road now. still loads of jobs to do but its slowly getting there. its just nice to be able to drive it about. oh the welded diffs loads of fun but cant see the tyres lasting long (or my licence
) so anyway, heres some pics
the breather tank only had 16mm inlets & i wanted 19mm so a mate of a mate milled some very nice pipes & someone else (the same guy that did alot of alloy fab work on rosies cossy mk3 escort) welded them on
painted & fitted
heat wrapped the manifold (badly
)
also did the wiring & cables
this stuff wasnt anywhere near as goo as the stuff i used on the down pipe. you can actually grab the downpipe after giving it a good spanking & its only as hot as a cup of tea
rebuilt turbo
fibreglass rs500 front bumper. quality is pretty poor but at £80 delivered im not complaining. not nothing i cant put right. really cant wait to get it sorted, painted & fitted
ironx'd the car last week & was really impressed with the stuff (you could have filed your nails on the paint) today ive clayed both sides of the car & had a quick run over with the mop. still got the boot roof bonnet etc to do
taken a few pics in the sun this afternoon
my little baby
on the look out for burglars lol
also fitted the alpine out of my saff
ill order some of these sometime next week
