Just drawn up a list of jobs to finish. I thought it would only be a few...HA! There is stillloads to do to get it all right.
Booked in now for January to have an ally under dash panel made up. Whilst in there I am going for custom relicated rear arches also. SO this means mixing up paint, may as well get the little dent done, paint the underside of the car again, refit top plates, roll front arches further, etc, etc, etc...
Also now looking to make a custom bonnet stay as the rad brackets are in the way of a standard shape one. Watch this space for developments.

All my pics are old build shots that dont show a great deal. Took some more last night but only close up stuff for parts ordering.
Err, let me think now...?
Fitting arrived for fuel pressure switch in bulkhead...
Routed extra breather line and fitted tee piece for hot side breather to come later...
This one shows the tidy wiring around the inlet side...
And this is where I am looking to fit a T for the turbo return via header tank...
Not that many interesting ones as yet.
While I am on, where do normal set ups drain back to from the bottom of the header tank? I dont have one yet so am wondering if it makes a difference which hose I go into?

Oh yeah, I am also swapping all the vacuum lines soon as I dont like the black aqnd clear stuff. They were just used to get the engine running. Have to decide if its braided and ally fittings or push fit silicone ???

I am going to remove the overflow tank on the hot side and modify it for a return hose. Then it will act as a mini header tank for the turbo return coolant. Its going to live here...
Just bought this to seal the top and match the rad cap, its just a Jap fitting cap...
Sweet eh!

Terry, I can put you in touch with folks in the Motorsport world if you like? I lived 2 hours north of Auckland but have friends all over the north island. In fact, depending upon what you do I also know of a small but profitable garage thats for sale in Whagarei? It belongs to a very good friend of mine that is into his old Fords and set to retire.
