    thats a very nice looking peice of work mate!!

    how exactly do you make something like that?

    looks to me like you started with a standard right angle? bend...but then what? such an odd shaped thing at the turbo end, and the transition is very well done.

    as you said start with a bend, got another slight bend and cut it in half, then cut like 10 degrees of each half, then filled in the triangles, die ground flush, only tacked the plate on till it was all one so i could clean it nicer, then seam welded that on the inside and match ported it using engineers blue.

    how thick is the metal you got there? as i cant imagine it being to easy to bend that stuff.

    pretty thick, 8mm,
    pre buy bends, easiest way, i have a bender but there is no point, by the time i buy steel and bend it and stuff, plus my bender would have a hard time, also dont have the dies.

    same with the rest of my zaust, bought 2.5 inch stainless and 4 90 degree bends that I can hack and tig up to fit, plenty of room under the car, that saying the passengers shoes might get a bit tacky, but hey i dont care.

    mount seats, side intrusion bars (once seats are mounted i can do them better), sheet in one or two things, paint, and put it together and wire it up.

    Saving up for some suspension at the moment, that will only take an hour or two to put it so no point worrying about that,

    oh and i have to do the rest of the zaust but thats an arvo.

    i have almost cracked a few times, but im just too busy with uni and shite to care. Im at a point now where I can see the end and im not too phased with how long it takes, im going to be super happy driving it whether its 2 months from now or 6 months.
