the big turbo has now had a full u.k re-furb and is for sale for 350 ish, cost me over that but just want to get rid as going in a differnt direction now , happy with the power i have got .I have put another t3 on it for time being and cleaned the manifold up inside so should be o.k for now .

Pics of the motor to follow just doing bits and bobs under there at the mo..

Yep - Looking good Ken! - Lot of work put into that, and it's the little touches that make it unique!

Good to see she's coming along!

Cheers Den , I reckon as pukka once said i will probs never get rid of it i worked it out the other day and i reckon i have had this one for about 7 years, lol

looks great, love the rear of it, how did you do the lights? they look well

[kennyboy]

Quite easy mate really and cheers for the comments, i got two stainless tubes made for each side then cut two holes per side, slid the tubes into the holes then put the lights in from behind and secured them in .I then fibreglassed and fillered each side, a very good coating of spray filler then two pack primer then top coat.
The only thing i would do different if i was doing it again, i would make it so i did not have to slightly trim the rear panel to get them in . A lesson learned i reckon.
They dont weigh too much either which is good.

[terry]

thanks man really appreciate the pics

[kennyboy]

lol Just like that but done forget to seal the front a bit better than i did so they dont crack round the edges, You can fill it with paint like but still looks o.k and my light units were 2.99 each front a wagon lol.
Shaun good idea with the insulation foam i used that on the side skirts underneath.
