Stipped the front end down at the weekend and made a cardboard manifold and sent that with the one I had made to be altered. Also sent off my inlet manifold to have a piece welded on to stop the boost hose poping off.



Then started stripping the inside down to fit my black carpet and dash.

Grey dash out



Grey carpet out and started pulling out the sound deading.







The end result





Going to get the new dash and carpet in tomorrow and get all the wires in for my new gauges

Its starting to come together now. I've put the standard turbo back on intill september when it comes off the road.
I will then be rebuilding the engine with oversized pistons and the whole van will get a respray.

Shes finally alive after a couple issues with water leaks.
The front needs to come down desperately which i will do tomorrow night. The coilovers are wound 3/4 way down already so looks like there going to have to go to the bottom.
