finally started putting some of the car back together and finishing my mock up stuff for all of the piping and intercooler/radiator mounting. figured i'd take some pics.

changes made are:
-topmount turbo manifold, welded on T2 flange to keep my turbo.
-new outlet to downpipe fabricated and heat wrapped, downpipe modified to clear framerail under car and tuck up closer to floor.
-intercooler relocated inside core support like dan and tracy's cars, should shorted intercooler piping considerably and help spoolup.
-radiator moved back 3" to accomodate intercooler setup.
-stitch welded various seams on the core support and painted everything.

after i get all this done and running i'm going to build ducting to pull all the air from the front directly into the intercooler/radiator and probably make an isolator box for the air filter (also ducted to the outside of the engine bay). this was just going to be a topmount changeover, dunno what happened

next on the list... KAAZ and paint.

it's funny how something so relatively simple can turn into a major ordeal when i have a welder handy and a full tank of welding gas

.

i think i'm going to fix some other bits while i'm in there, repaint some stuff and redo the valvecover. the purpletop has seen better days (although that paint has help up amazingly well against chipping when i throw tools up there). i bought a few test cans of paint last night, i'll see what they look like tonight when i work on it again. i think i'm just going to go black on black on black with a hint of gold.
