Not too much mate, but they wont clear without cutting them down unless you have recesses in the back of your alloys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie28 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Little bit of progress today. Fitted the manifold, turbo, and oil lines. Then removed some pipes relating to the air con which I no longer have and decided to mount my FPR in its place. Need to order some studs for the turbo and then I can mount my downpipe and connect that all up to the exhaust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 good progress dude!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Good work bud. Be careful with the FPR there..theres a fuck off spark coming out of the thing next to it and if you have a small leak or the king lead arks/cracks a clip etc it could get messy!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie28 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Little bit of progress today, picked up yet another bumper just because it was the correct colour and had already been trimmed to fit a large intercooler. As my intercooler now has a rear entry it required new mounting points so me and my mate set about making some new brackets. All mounted up nicely, just need to cut a small section away so the rear entry pipe work will fit and connected onto the turbo. Then we got the bumper mounted up. Love it!Unfortunately it's a different shade of white so i will get it resprayed at some point or maybe get the hole car done depending on the cost. Few bits left to do and then I'll start her up and run her in. Not rushing though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan5793 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Nice one mate, fair play for carrying on and sticking with it. Bumper looks better too, personally the best front end for these cars by far! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie28 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Lower ball joints replace, and driveshafts back in!Just a few little things left to do! Not rushing it as the weathers awful anyway but should be back on the road soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie28 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Couple of updatesFirstly shes back on all 4 Had problems connecting up my rear entry intercooler onto the turbo, so had to modify it and have my local fabricator weld it for me!Sorted with a couple of 45 bends BeforeDuring Mocked upAnd welded Will get that back all together this weekend Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie28 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Managed to get some time to spend on the car over the weekend! Finished wiring and plugging in everything to/from the engine and filled her up with fluids! To my surprise there was 0 leaks! Cranked her over and got oil pressure but soon after my battery died! So I've stuck that on charge, and will hopefully have her running next weekend! I have ordered a few bits which should arrive early next week so I'll update when they arrive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
