Early rise at 0700 ..waiting for the truck to arrive ..she's now safely at ND performance and fabrication ..he thinks he will have it done by today or tomorrow morning at the latest ..here's a few pics ..the car cover hasn't helped the paint at all ..so it's due a paint correction once up and running then into the carcoon.

That looks really tidy, just out of interest with all the inlet mods and crossover pipe is there any reason you didn't just go for a custom manifold?

Changed the colour of the charge carrier I'm 50/50 ..the whole charge carrier set up and a colour scheme at the minute I'm not feeling all that good with ..it's a case of having to play with stiff.

If I'm honest with you Mat it's the only thing you've done on the car I don't like. For me I needs to be crackle black. The rest of the car is epic, it just doesn't look right to me.
when is it going for first start and run up?

Mat, personally I think it looked at its best prior to any coatings on the charge pipe.

Kin hell you're right mate, that looks shit. Get it wrapped in that titanium heat wrap. It'll look more "Motorsport " and it'll smooth out the welds.

Think you should paint the rocker cover red and skim the engraving back to silver and leave the charge carrier set up in silver.

Its the rocker cover colour thats the problem.

rocker cover and all tanks etc are off and for a colour scheme once it's all running ..rocker cover colour to be confirmed as I'm unsure what to go for yet.
