Why? Yours is awesome!
keep at it benn , you'll find a solution to that turbo pipe.
on your bottom rad hose, what size hoses have you got coming off the rad and off the plastic coolant pipe? i measured mine today which are both differant sizes.
Erm... I'll measure in a bit...
I have a better plan, that is get a bit of stainless tube bent, so you'll see a shiney L with a silicone joiner at each end..
Need to see about ends for me oil cooler tomoz, so gonna see if they can do anything..
I'm just loving the polished stuff I think lol and cheersQuote:

Glad your liking it, takes ages to do..lol Polished stuff can look right in many places you just have to be careful. If you have anything in stainless, polish it up.Quote:

its a swear word but thats i've seen "lesser" cars trailer'd! tell me your not still using this as a daily?!!!
will need to have a wee chat and maybe even a beer at billing this year, think i missed you the last time! its gonna be a tough one between this and nick's for the chairmans cup this year!
lol i'm still gonna use it as much as i can, daily if poss.
And funk yeah, come find me if i will you at Billing, always look for you.
Dale beat me to it last year, don't think peeps on Mig are as fussed with my car any more..lol I'd love to get thru to it again tho..
Its all to do with making it look different each season IMO, even if its small things, and i think your aware that your car is ripe for some new rims to make it stand out and if you get the right ones it will be almost the perfect show nova...:thumb:Quote:

Look at the golfs in the second link, they look amazing! i would love these wheels on my mk1, but think they would look amazing also on yours in gold, or silver mate.
Scott
Double post.
I've always thought some of these would look really nice
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/72330998.jpg
Mazz did you see the wheels in the links?
Yea they are very similar, but are 4x100 :(
Photoshop anyone?
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/2eff0453.jpg
But luckily if iirc Benn has kept the stud stuff in case he wished to go back etc.
Those Lenso wheels in that link are lovely Scott! Any idea on the offset?

You love it. :pQuote:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...nerefit413.jpg
Then took the std cooler lines apart..
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...nerefit417.jpg
Then found some strong pipe which i had in stock.. And made this up..
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...nerefit411.jpg
Polish jubilee clip of coarse..
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...nerefit415.jpg
That gave me this...
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...nerefit414.jpg
Fits hidden in the front, wing against the front panel. Which i might made a few air holes in, as it will get direct air there.
Now who remembers the water pipe i didn't like?
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...aterpipes1.jpg
Too many clips on it, just looked messy..
While i was getting the oil cooler fittings i asked about tubing.. So popped back and asked if they could bend me something like the pipes shape..
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...nerefit416.jpg
Needed a little cutting to shape. And a good polish..
(after a light buff)
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...nerefit418.jpg
Made up..
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...inerefit41.jpg
Fitted.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...inerefit46.jpg
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...inerefit45.jpg
Also got a nice set of better fitting stainless P clips to hold the fuel lines up..
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...inerefit44.jpg
Filled the engine was oil, gear box oil, water and then fuel, fit new plugs. Battery on... Turn over to get the oil pressure up.. Then try and start....
And boom it started right almost right away. One slightly noisey tappet.. Then switch off as one water pipe was leaking.. Tighten up hose clip. Re start engine, good steady idle, no bad noises.
The fuel return to the tank is leaking a bit, so need to check that out. But she runs! :)
Turbo water pipe looks great dude!
are all your braided fuel hoses using push-on connections?
Brilliant pal top work.
That oil cooler pipe you had made is exactly what I was thinking. Did it cost much to get done?
Good work on the water pipe too :thumb:
I would have used that as a turbo cooler and got a smaller cooler for the oil
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...nerefit413.jpg
Needs a bit more buffing to mirror it up tho, but its nice.Quote:

a great evolution from already a super build.
:thumb: Looking good benn :thumb:

Could you not have got the water pipe bent to the radius of the cross member and clipped it to the back of that?
Also mate them I/c end pipes are less than ideal being mitred is there no way you could have used some short radius 90's?
Looking clean tho!
Ah, none of the rest leak. i'm gonna trim the braiding back a bit, see i the tube in the middle isn't right at the end or something...Quote:
