i think all the parts is painted now ;P



had to paint the doors over again today, had a reaction in the clear coat a few places o.O

but looking ok now


between the coats of paint i cut and spot welded the cooling pipes! ran out of gass for the welder so ill have to finish them another day

[volvo242]

Front end is starting to look complete



Radiator and intercooler in, also the waterpump and ive started looking at piping for the water



Inntake is modified and back in! throttle pedal feels much better with the extra spring to give it some resistance!

Does the dirty tricks switch actually do anything or is it just for fun? Also those ground lugs look to have a few to many connections on them.

the dirty tricks is the button to arm the NOS system ;P

ground lugs is not only ground, its also unswitched for memory + switched for lights (gauges)
thats why there is 3, so really there is only 7 wires of each type..

"cam" sensor in place! had a friend make the bracket to hold it in place, and also sealing it (o-rings)



tierd of waiting for the dude thats supose to paint the last parts on the car.. so today i started myself ;P

[MattHatCat]

Looking great

[volvo242]

testing the dynamo! it works ;P
140 amp from a v70r



also made a belt tensioner, and painted stuff black




had to modify the intake again.. the springs that shuts the throttle "plates" is to weak. they are made for a bike so i had to add a extra spring to give the pedal some feel ;P



most of the electric is finished so i printed some labels





switch for the Flatshift controll is in, wired to the ecu and gives a short engine cut when i change up!



hoping to get the rest of the parts painted soon

[volvo242]

brake late switch




made a thingy to connect all the gauges etc to, dont want to solder everything together.. and this also makes it easy to add / alter / remove stuff later!





3 driving lights on each side ofcourse looks better

[RattyCabby]

Box fenders AND flares!!! :beer:

[MattHatCat]

I love gold heat shielding.
that is all.

[volvo242]

power to the people ;P
fuelpumps, lights, fans, waterpump etc is alive





Also most of the hoses for the dry sump is finished, just 1 left to do (didnt have the fitting) so now the turbo and manifold is going in, and aint coming back out again
