Tbh I was more Paul who said it in the first place. Negative Ba$tard!
the guy that put filler on and got it all wet should hang his head in shame.
Nice positive comment there, It pissed it down half way through doing it so couldnt really do anything about it. Any its covered over with a bag now taped to the car!Quote:

And my new Fancy Inlet, its a Td lower with a redrilled N/a upper and the inlet pipe extended. Look good and should flow better to :)

As you can see it should flow nice.

I Spent a while wire wheeling the lower half then I gave it a coat of primer.

That will do for tonight I think.

You do realise Primer is just a porous as Filler. It rained heavily for 20 minutes, we sheeted the car down and afterwards I removed the sheet, took the photo and then dried it off and covered over with a PVC sheet and tape.
I can hardly prime the panel when its raining.
Me and the people helping with the build are experienced enough and qualified enough to know what to do in these situations and have done many other projects over the years! Thanks for the advice though.
Well yesterday I stripped my other shaft out.

Wire wheeled one Cv, they both need painting now.

Very happy about this :)

Looking really good mate,you're getting there :)
Thanks pal :)
Did a bit more today, Painted my manifold and down/ up paint.
Fitted the manifold with new nuts and stainless bolts.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...96158818_n.jpg
Once the paint were dry on the down/up pipe I wrapped the top half.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...54479284_n.jpg
and inbetween that I fitted the injectors and glow plugs.

Dan
over the past 3 evenings and this morn ive read nearly all of this thread and man there has been some graft on this.
when do you expect to have it back on the road?
rick
Dan, not trying to piss on your fire dude, but the down pipe might rott under that heat wrap, but heres a good way to try stop it, buy some more HT paint in white and spray it onto the wrap, this might keep it from getting to moist and stop the rotting effect etc.
Other then that dude, your one dedicated lad, and i envy your determination, wish i had the get up and go.
Scott
Looks awesome but could you not make a better flowing exhaust manifold? fabrication on this looks lovely though :)
Ricky: cheers Pal, I would like it at billing ?! maybe :P
Scott: I may spray it with VHT clear. or maybe black, dunno? Thanks anyway :)
Jake: the manifold looks like it will flow nice, and hopefully the down pipe will too. Its going to flow better than standard any way as the exhaust port is three times the size on the manifold now. Cheers any way :)
hats off you buddy :thumb:
shes getting there :)
Thank you Pie :)
Small update, the water cooler banjos for the turbo came today. All I need now is a compressor flange and to work out how the hell I will fit a waste gate :P lol
Cheeky Picture

Well I did as Scott suggested, Looks cool tbh.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...76992393_n.jpg
Small bit more again tonight.
First of all I sealed my inlet and fitted the new stainless bolts I have acquired.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...84282889_n.jpg
