So that fits ok. The other end tho... Eek. After a bit of cutting i had this...

Reason being its very hard to cut this off straight as they are angled up so much and i need it to point down.
Got it to where i wanted it after some messing about, but now i need to get it to stay together so i can go get it alloy welded.
I tried glue.. Wouldn't hold. So i could only try and Mig weld it. Now i know you can't mig weld alloy, but needs a must. I now know why you can't weld alloy with a mig..
After alot of sparks and smoke and a very bad head ache. I ended up with this.

Oh it's not pretty.

But it was holding. Took it to see the man that does all my alloy/tig welding. So did two small welds then flicked off the mig and got it all Tigged.

Start piping it all back up. IC back in and that...

While rebuilding the front back up, i trimmed back a few bits i had spotted and marked.
Found that the rad pipe was pushed hard against this bit... Will be felted and made a better curved shape later...

Rad in, water pipes in, pour water in... Stop and find and fix leak lol
Roll out of the garage.
Starts first time. Bit tappety as it's not been started in a few months. All running...

Ah.... No air flow meter or filter. Much cleaner.
Wow while the flash on the bay is sooooooooooooooooooo dirty!

Now this is just phase 1. A quick test to make sure everything works. So nothing is very pretty.
Much like this... While working away i noticed this bit had been filled, same with the wing bit (ear on the side) cleaned them back to find it had been welded years ago, filled to look better which water must of got under and rusted. So out with the wire wheel (hence the dusty bay) clean it all to bare metal, rust treat. Wanted to fit a new panel here, but i can't find one at all (get a 90£ whole front panel, but i only need to headlight surround panel bit so bit of a waist) So i'm gonna have to cut it out and made one up myself. So that's the next bit....
Bad bit...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ps2e2b1436.jpg
More cutting coming.... Anyone have one of the panels?
Oh and a small video, so you can see where i'm at and you'll notice the very untidy bit... I need to make new oil cooler lines to move it. Hence why it cabled tided to the bumper bar...
But Phase 1 finished.

Oh and the next job is to get the arm/filer around to wards the front panel a bit more and start making a box to enclose it all... Then rip it all a part again...lol Great.
