Hi Tils,
its been a couple days where are ya?
just noticed the cut on the radiator support panel, i did that once, cause i could not get enough height under the house to lift the motor over the panel, so i thought the easiest way was to cut it, oops, boy did i regret that.

It was something that needed doing for intercooler and radiator mods to be done. It will be re fitted. Easy as.. :P
A fair bit has been done, but I'll post those pics when it's done. ;)

Well the trans tunnel is complete, and the majority of the forming has been done for the upper part of the firewall. Should have that all welded in tomorrow morning. Then I will complete the radiator and intercooler mounts...
