Not a huge update but it's my first day of leave, so just sorting out a few small jobs.

Made up a vacuum line from the inlet to the FPR with nice, shiny fittings.

Got round to picking up my pipe work for the rad and cooler.

Now, all Lars had to work from was a few bad sketches and some half hearted measurements from me so we weren't sure if we'd get it right first time around as the top boost pipe is quite complex, having to come from the intercooler, down the chassis leg, up toward the throttle body at an angle so it avoids hitting the gearbox and hydraulic clutch arm, bending at the top missing the dizzy one side and brake cylinder with enough room to remove the cap to top up fluids the other and coming toward the throttle body itself at an angle that a silicon house would fit it.
I must admit, when I picked them up, I looked at it and thought "fuck, that looks wrong, it's never going to fit...

Like a glove! Credit to Lars, he's done a cracking job.

I was going to paint them black, but decided the bays looking a bit dark these days so broke it up with some Radiant Red and some AH decals

Tomorrow will probably be a small bit of welding which I've been putting off and modifying the seat rails for the bucket seats.
