almost finished welding the manifold now :P









the engine block is at a machine shop right now, they are boring out the sylinders and putting in Ductile iron sleeves custom orderd from L.A. sleeves!
And the 16v head is also at a shop :P long story short: 3 angle valve seats, bronze valve guide`s, stock valves, porting of intake and exhoust, match porting inntake manifold to the head ports ++ head will easly do the 750 hp im aiming for!

so, since the 740 rear axle is wider then the 240, I dont need spaceres anymore

redrilled the bolt pattern, so now i can just move the bolts between 5*108 and 5*114,3!



since a lot of my engine parts is out, i have just been tinkering a little here and there :P
Front bumper mod step 2 :P





this bumper will only be used as a mold, bumper will be cast in Carbon fiber!

Along with the rear bumper, dashboard and a few other parts

btw, also built a widebody Benz for a friend, tok me about 1,5 month to do all the metal work! yes, its all metal, no fiberglass :P
All hand built in 0,9mm steel plate. 2 layers in the rear wheelhouses and 1 layer in the front fenders. + rolled lipp so it wont cut the tires and for strength.
