Think they're just temp ones whilst he gets it running.

Looks well!

Looks top as always.

The whine of the box will be sexual!

thanks for all the good comments, much appriciated

hi matt how much did it set you back to have the bottom end bored out mate

I've a feeling that inlet is going to get sucked inwards.

if you mean the silicone hose to the turbo then i think they will be fine as there 4 ply and tough as hell

Looks mighty impressive!

Schweeeeeeet :d

When was this last taxed on the road then?

Christ an update!........... Looks epic mate. :)

That is looking good.

awesome car

manifold is very close to the rad, are you doing something about that or leaving it as it is?

Scene as **** ken, scene as ****.

Looks mint ! keep up the good work :thumb:

thanks for the comments guys

southie, i think it was last on the road in 2007 iirc

mieran, rad aint as close as it looks in that pic so should be ok id say

got the gauges mounted and wired in etc, didnt want to go screwing gauge holders onto the flock so this was the only other place, i think they look ok

wow stunning

ive also got all running gear back on, brakes are bled up and shafts are in.

decided to go with stock tie bar brackets with poly bushes as i didnt like the look of the rose jointed ones that were on it previously that had been made up using the stock brackets, i did buy a set of rose jointed lowered brackets from protec but they were total trash so i sent them back

Looking awesome dude!

have some rep for an awesome build

Nice to see this project back to the top. Looks amazing mate, what a machine!!

Coming together nicely, great times!

Awesome Matt, When you hoping to get it on the road? I'm due to tax the Nova any time now so i'll have a run over. Any excuse to use the Hartside road!!

Who modified your header tank Matt for twin inlet & threaded them for Goodridge hose?

really does look superb quality of the build is stunning :thumb:

Nope I meant the triangular inlet feeding the port intakes :)

Awesome stuff ! All looks very expensive lol

Paint colour is very nice as well

Just read through this, absolutely awesome project :)

You can buy alloy theaded outlets and have them tig welded to your header tank - I have seen the outlets on ebay

If your struggling to find a decent TIG welder - I have a man who can :thumb:

Have you thought about modifying the tie bar brackets yourself to lower them?
