    Now I can start scraping glue and cleaning out the engine bay ready for seam welding.

    Cheers,

    Hey guys,

    Just a quick update, have been moving forward pretty well, once a week we've been welding up the car and so far this is whats been welded, most of the cabin, still quite a bit to do but the main points have been done.

    Estimation of final completion of car from now should be around 1-2 months. So excited can't wait.

    Cheers,
    Ken

    looking good ken... are you using a T3 quad throttle adaptor? cos the TPS looks like it will foul on the water outlet if you're using a rwd one... maybe it's just me.

    i could have made longer welds but feel that there isn't a need to and tacks will be more than sufficient. If you look into some option mags or videos you'll see this is how all japs do it, not that that means its the best way i suppose but usually their reliable.

    the quad throttle adaptor is a custom made one fitted onto a small port head it was used on a previous engine and had no signs of trouble.
