The deluxe combo for only $3.49!?

 

The build looks great man, I'm jealous you're able to leave the car on jack stands and weld away. What welder are you using?

 

Nope. 2 Jumbo Jacks with Cheese!

Miller - TIG Welders - Dynasty 200 Series

Thanks, and no i didnt pay that much for mine 3 years ago.

 

Past few days ive done a few things. Although im still not even close to finishing. The intercooler sat too close to the radiator so i ended up putting some spacers to offset it.



Next i put some foam weatherstripping to keep that airflow going through the radiator.



Also on the intercooler



Fabbed up the hotside





Welded the hotside





Cold side was a bit more of a pain in the *** but i got it







Out with the stock injectors and in with the 440's






I also got all of my bushings done just need to get some new ball joints to put the assembly back togethor.

Jeff had this great idea after spotting my brothers old buffing machine to use it as a paint scratcher.





Boy did it work good

I painted the underpart of the hood a satin black.



Primed the top



First coat




Its probably gonna be a 20ft paint job with the rattle cans but its more of a form over function thing.

 

Very cool build here.

 

Tonight i started out with a couple of beers and decided to work on my exhaust since my suspension is on hold awaiting parts.

I started working the bellmouth piece and started to bring it into a circle over 3 pieces





Next put 2" of straight pipe and another radius on it




Another radius



Then i used one of my 45* and put a vband at the end





But wait... i have this gap where the wastegate is suppose to be SG.



Mark that ****.



Cut that ****



And form it








I ran out of time tonight. Hopefully ill have the exhaust done this weekend but it is valentines day so no clubrodster meet at my house.

Cheers!

 

LOL WUT???

 

Easier transition makes my engine rev happy. You will see.

 

lol tell me you see the dick.

 

Down dick FTW!

Build looking good. Seeing this kind of build makes me ALMOST want to eventually go turbo again.

 

I thought we agreed this is a no-homo build?

Ahhh C'mon he sent me up beautifully. This thread was too straight anyways...this is Mt.net

 

Hahaha.

 

I drew a perfect weener without even knowing it. Lame.

 

I made the same mistake. You are trying to do a bellmouth downpipe with the wrong flange. I also went down the same road you are before giving up and getting the right flange. Weirtech sells it.



Its pretty hilarious that you subconsciously drew a *****. Brilliant.

 

With all the weiner fiasco happening in this thread i thought i would get some **** done today for sure.

Started off with getting the IWG hold fabbed up and then welded the whole thing




Full pen baby



@ the turbo



What it looks like at the tranny




All this welding makes me hungry





Figured out that before i continue the exhaust that i need to put my rear axles/control arms in first







I ran out of beer so i decided to call it a day and surf a little bit.

 

Are you upgrading the brakes and lines?

 

For the school probably not. Once i get the car together with the aftermarket rods in then i will most likely do SS brake and clutch lines.

 

Great build thread SKMetalworks. I've really enjoyed reading it. You've got some mad skillz yo with the welder! I just learned (failed?) MIG 12/2008 and am amazed at the tube welding you're doing.
