In the mean time whilst waiting for some panels to dry in the oven thought i'd do a couple of bits on the old 20B beast to get the rear of the exhaust set up closer to being finished. The holes cut both sides now. Tunnels now put in and welded up.

Tacked in:

Wacked a dummy in there for now so you get a good idea of what its going to lool like. I can build the final part of the exhaust until the wide arch kit is built up so i know what length the tips need to be.

Started to think about the intercooler position. I have a biltz unit sitting about that never sold so i have given it the chop to work with my set up. I think i will probibly go with a mild V-mounted angle as the cooler is quiet thick Won't be worry about it too much for now.

little bit done on the trans tunnel now that both tunnels for the mufflers are all tacked in. Until i get my hand on the rest of the manifold parts i can really build the drivers side of the trans tunnel as i need to build it around the down pipe.

Bit of tweeking to be done but with the car on jacks you get a referance of how far out the wheels sit. Obviously these are only 9" wide not the 13" that will be needed....

Its really a great job you´ve done on that car. Maybe you can help me if I get stuck in a couple of day when I start putting a 13G in a FD. Its a road race car that right now is running a 13B peripheral. Congrats on your meticulous work
