Well thanks to Jordie i have me DV and boost pipes bits n bobs. I took em all to peices and like lego tried different ways, finally found something neat and workable. managed to get the front rad fitted and still maintain stock alternator. some nibbling will need to be completed on the edge of the rad (its just the frame that does not hold water *wink* ) as it is just fouling the blades on the pulley of the alternator. I have seen a golf one which is smaller and mounts the same way so will go and retreive it from the lockup later :) although the cooler appears to be tilted on the photos, it is actually square so the whole of the core is facing forward rather than 45degsish towards the ground *wink*

once i have had the car sortid i will probably get the boost pipes made out of one peice, if it works and people are happy to use this config i will start knocking em out the idea being that the pipe from the turbo will have a flange on it so you do away with the cast alloy peg bit *wink*

by the way the large hole in the block comes From the oil pump through the oilcooler if ones fitted, through the filter and into the main oil gallery, it is here where the oil pressure is read not direct from the pump which would give an unnaturally high reading, it is this same filtered oil that feeds the turbo..
(and the bearings)

just rolled her out to wash the inch of dust of her, and to try get a pic of the crack in the cage which needs welded up.

so here she is 3 years later. almost done, still got the wiring to do, and iam waiting for the starter motor to come back, i had the mounting lugs cut off then re welded back on so the solonoid is facing ni on upwards *wink*

I'll either update this thread or start another when I get cracking with it.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Hopefully should be getting started on this at the weekend.

Plans are to take doors off to make it easier to work on. Get the interior out & the roll cage repaired. Remove turbo engine ready for it's replacement N/A engine.

Swap 4-Pots for standard 8.4 brakes.

Make a list of everything that needs doing/buying for re-assembly and get cracking.

(Richie do you mind if I carry this thread on or would you prefer I start a new one?)

no buddy it seems fitting that there is some sort of closure on this thread. DVLA have sent me confirmation of sale so you should get the V5 within a couple of days, if you have not allready got it that is.
