Sorry mate didn't realise the intercooler was a sore point ha ha

Oh not a sore point at all just gotta stop somewhere and encouragement is our worst enemy!!..boof is good at that.. haha i already have an idea for one..but not entertaining it at the moment.. maybe for when i finish off a 363

Mate the only time you'll stop is when you sell the car. I am just putting the finishing touches on my build and already miss looking on ebay/summit for car stuff, so already I am thinking about supercharging it.....just need to figure out the intercooler bit....need an intercooler

Room is our biggest issue, especially with what I have already done. I could probably fit one now that I have moved the battery, but jamming more crap in the engine bay is not appealing.

[Husky65]

oh yeah definitely, room is a prick, especially with a centrifugal type supercharger. I was thinking of going the KB route, mainly for space reasons.

Probably why you should decide what you want to have in there before you start the build ........

I may have mentioned that before, possibly twice .......

[Husky65]

That might work if the build lasted a month or two....any longer and the mind starts wandering

My mind wanders, but never about cars .......

Husky, have you put up a project thread on your car yet?

[Husky65]

Yeah on the other forum, it's more of a 'daily driver' build, not quite up to the standard of some of these cars
I only found out about Kerry towards the end of my build unfortunately, otherwise he would have had some more work to keep him busy

[boofhead]

Post up a few pics so future updates can be here....

Oh I was very clear about what I wanted my car to be.
Just a nice comfortable cruiser. And it was.

But I can never leave well enough alone!

Yes, at our age we are always of two minds..
One is lost and the other is out looking for it.

i was gunna say .. "sexuality? " but decided not to because its a family forum here

[gbx78]

That sure is a purdy looking engine bay!

Yep.......Just needs to paint those hinge springs

considering its my last day of leave before i go back to the ^%$#@&^% i caved to peer pressure..

I wanted to have them coated but kerry mentioned that the heat could change their properties and cause me some issues.. so i had the vht anodised spray cans so just used that. .. was tempted to continue my wrinkle paint theme but didnt think it would suit the springs
