Bit of a wee update

Made a custom place for the tank and battery(witch was then scraped as did really want the battery next to tank so got a small racing one to go behind the passenger and going to put my tool bag there instead!)











All so made a staintless steel spotlight bracket, and trail fitted my front massive lip,









..........



Started of the front rad conversion first off cut out a bigger hole of the front grill.



I got a custom rad made up for the car also using two Bike fans.




Got loads of ally and started making the ducting for the rad



Made the surrports for the fans





Some swearing and tons of hours later this was made





Made these for the pipes to pass though.



Then started to work out the pipe work and all fitted my fan controller





Started routing the pipes



Then started to fit the pipes inside of the car



But diced this pipe was to small. 22mm, so went to wickes and got some 28mm






Also got loads of braided fuel line for the car.



Made this ally box for the cut off switch



I moved the coil into the car ( blue wires for the remote water pump switch)



Made a rail for the releys for the front of the car.



Made these to strap the spare wheel down



Made a bracket for the washer bottle




Wheel in the front




Front finished with









And something else i fitted...( to many fanboys)

The cage, currantly for a LHD car, will be sorted with a weld here and there and turning the rear in to a X brace with a harrnes bar

looks nice so far!

but the wheels not sure about the red lip, maybe matte black wheels with silver lip, or no lip at all...or the wheels painted in bronze...not sure also :/

all silver would look good for sure
