Yeah Tony will go, now here is a lovely example of a patched ups 80s rot box, known to some as a Vauxhall Nova, clearly it has been extensively repaired as there are only remains of the patches left! lmao

That is it am afraid, should hopefully get the wheels all done this week. Well at least in colour then I can Lacquer at my own pleasure.
Dan
flange looks good dude. Did you chain drill and file or get the plasma out?
I hactually touched my nova yesterday! most progress in months you'll agree lol
I plasma cutted it, then tidied it up with the milling machine.
Oooo, what did you do to it?
Cheers, I plasma cut it then tidied it up with the mill.
Ohhhh, what did you do to it?
spot on.
oh no, when I say I touched it, I don't mean I worked on it, I mean I actually just touched it (like jacko) lol
Ohh. major disappointment that. lol
story of my life
that flange looks good dan, might have to get you to make one up for me :)
Well let me know Sam and I will get one sorted for you :)
Just finished a wheel, needs some lacquer though.

Well today was turbo time :P...
I decided to modify the original manifold to fit the T25, This is how I did it.
Cut the original flange off.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...45587127_n.jpg
Welded the studs onto the new Flange.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...58007606_n.jpg
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...61712310_n.jpg
I recessed the manifold to fit the new flange flush.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...32655162_n.jpg
A couple of tacks to make sure everything fits...
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...47599230_n.jpg
and then a full on seam weld.

Best thing is the hole pipe system will come off with out removing anything other than the radiator.
I need to make the intercooler pipe now and put a flange on the down pipe to mate up with my ashley. Other than that jobs a good un :)
