Oilcooler fitted, water injection pump fitted under passenger headlight and airhorns moved under drivers headlight. More pics to follow.

ill see how it goes mate, its exhaust paint but as you say may burn off. Hopefully will be getting new manifold and turbo when i get some extra cash, my mate just got the t34 setup from that guy from mig. Gonna pop over his and get measurements to see if it would fit OK in the bay.

because it was easier to mask them with masking tape, also most of them are pipes

lazyness 
im also cleaning everithing out.. not for a turbo but for a c20xe 
looms pipes etc. all has to go
then im welding in chassis-strengthening-plates (simalar to the Mtech plates.. used their plates to copy)
then also painting.. how did u move the rad more to the front?
drill new holes in de lower bar or created another way to mount it further to the front? as want to use a bigger rad-fan.. and dont want it to hit the exhaustmanifold
my car atm (pict from 2 weeks ago)
