Yea do so! And i know what it's like doing big projects like yours and you get to a point where you think even if you did want to sell it you just couldnt. The amount of hours and money you put into them it would never be worth it

Dont know who's golf it is. Saw it at one of the shows about 3/4 years ago. Found his WIP on the net here: http://www.coupehaus.co.uk/richardT_project.html
Not much of an update. Had a quiet half hour last night at work so decided to make a start on modding my cam cover for the dry sump system
Started like this:

Removed the plate with the breather on from the underside of the cover by drilling the rivets:

Removed this with the angle grinder (going to use this piece as a test piece for welding not sure what it will weld like being die cast):

I then clamped it up on the bridgeport and milled off the excess ally:

Going to make a plate tonight to fill the hole, may even get chance to fire up the AC set and weld it in. Still unsure whether to remove th oil filler as well as it wont be used? Opinions?
Off to bed. Night :)
Nice. No oil filler cap would look cool :cool:
Remove the front/top lugs too that hold the standard engine cover on ;)
Good point :thumb: will do that tonight.
Decided to remove the oil filler and lugs. Should look smooooothe when painted.
