So thats my update dash done for a while, next is maybe finish the headers and dump pipe and start looking at where the wastegate is going to live. Get the rear guards finished and primed mount the fuel cell and filters etc maybe look at starting the tunnel and other sheetmetal work inside the car

That's a BIG sucker!!! Housing looks bigger than the rotary housing. Very impressive.

hahahahahah yes it is rather large. The angle the pictures taken on creates a bit of an illusion but none the less it is still reasonably big

More Progress!!!! Drivers side of car has had all rust removed, new plates fitted and has been bogged and ready for primer!! Quite a tedious and time consuming job but worth doing all the same! The headers have been taken away by somebody more skilled than i to be finished and the intake elbow has been modified to suit my engine bay I feel another shopping spree coming. Watch this space
