Transferred the template to tin, with some minor trimming the floor is in, and you can also see the tunnel is in too. 4.JPG flipped the template and trimmed slightly to suit the passenger side floor. 5.jpg Did a lot of work of repairing rust in the wheel arch and then I was able to attach the tubs a...

time for a well overdue update since the previous pics this is the latest. pic of the engine bay, a lot of tidying up to do but mainly all complete. 1.JPG Finally got to ordering some coil overs, so that's just about the rear end complete! 2.JPG And after drinking copious amounts of beer I had enoug...

Once again it has been faaaaarrrrrr too long in between updates, life and work has been far to hectic lately, but I do have some videos that might go some ways to making up for this lack of updates :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaTQvc3Ne2U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaTQvc3Ne2U http://www.yo...

Been trying to get out there after work at nights, lacking enthusiasm and time!

3 inch dump pipe, flares to 4 inch just before the waste gate pipe merges into it.

Turbo manifold all worked out and mostly welded together.
Wastegate sorted out and in a somewhat easier spot to access than the gemini ever was!
