Then more progress was being made in the body shop.

We started into the inner front wings and they went from this...

Alot of time and effort went into fixing my wings as they where worst for wear they bad seen lots of painted chipped off them due to running silly wide wheels and winter had took there toll on them so sandblasting and beedblasting got shot of the rust and when then applied some led to them and a quick skim of good old pon.

The pics are not the best but you kinda get the idea..

Right back to some of the engine. I'm near sure I will be the only 6 speed Vr Turbo in Ireland. I managed to get my hands on a Vw Motor Sport Gearbox internally its got full steel gearing and the box is limited till 198mph. I also got my self some custom made drive shafts from The States that have been made to cope with 1000bhp..

A test fit of the engine threw up some problems. I knew I should of test fitted everything first but I didn't so I've only myself to blame..

Quick test fit..

So once we had the engine in we noticed a problem :-(. The Motorsport Gearbox has an xtra 6 inches on the right side so this led to a small problem..

We notice that the box sat under the chassis leg and as soon as the car would come on boost my box would be introducing its self to the chassis leg so we had a plan.

It went a little like this..

I'm looking the silver one as a courtesy car lol. I think that's why it's not finished. :-p

Awesome build mate! How close is the turbo to the bulkhead?

It's not as close as the pics look. I've enough room to stick a heatsoak bag round the turbo. Tho I will be adding gold heat wrap to my bulk head.

Many Things.
Awesome and you won't get a better fabricator that Mr Henning, the man is a legend and so so fussy! He does everything that I need done and I refuse to go anywhere else!

Great project and keep up the momentum...
