Long time- just a couple of pics for Ben to see, the old blower drive adapter broke (something to do with my old air cooled Tig not being up to the job I think..) so machined a new billet one that will be well up to the job!

Update - back from the dead...

Post by tvrlux »

Hey guys...
I know quite a few of you were watching Toms original build thread.

The car is still alive and well.

I've made a few changes.

Here she is now

House of kolor - candy apple red, over gold

Just built a new radiator setup with twin pull thru fans in place of the old push through setup...

It's had quite a few little updates, new hood, new interior, new diff, gearbox, n2 arches etc... Will post some more if anyone's interested?

@tom

Cheers for the new pulley mate!

Got the new rad setup all nice now - it came out pretty nice - pulley spot on!

Also fitted up my spangly painted interior farkles

Fully shrouded the rad around two 12" puller fans - she cools much better now - had to cut out a bit more to move the new rad further forward... But all good

Let me know what I owe ya for the pulley!
