the job i was dreading was doing the cutout on the crossmember so it would fit
looking all nice
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...2/DSC05547.jpg
after a bit of a weigh up i just cut along there
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...2/DSC05548.jpg
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...2/DSC05550.jpg
quick trial fit revealed it fits ok apart from the pipes on end tanks are very tight against the inside of the chassis legs so i took the intercooler to have the pipes cut off and re welded 10mm further in on both ends
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...2/DSC05549.jpg
cut out
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...2/DSC05551.jpg
did a bit of welding for some strength
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...2/DSC05552.jpg
so i then bent and cut some 18 gauge sheet steel to weld in
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...2/DSC05557.jpg
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...2/DSC05561.jpg
welded in
