Good to see it coming together

16V project underway

Loving the intercooler set up, what is the intercooler from? Did you have to raise the bonnet to make it fit?

I reckon its a 2wd cossie cooler with the end caps nicely modified. Either way I'm impressed :)

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

I'm guessing the pipework usually connects onto the sides and not the top like this? A neat little mod, gives more room for a larger cooler

John has it nailed - Phil did the work on the intercooler, and I'm sure he could replicate it for a price!

The bonnet is raised at the back, but the front edge is standard. I like the raised back look, but I'm pretty sure the bonnet would fit in the normal position too.

Raised back isn't so good for aerodynamics Alex

Looks really well, what sort of boost are you able to put through with a cooler of that size? Its the exact sort of size/shape I'm looking for

I know someone putting over 18psi through one. And someone else putting around 20psi through one.

I don't see why it wouldn't allow more as long as its in the airflow with an appropriate turbo.

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

I've know people put 35psi through a Cosworth intercooler. No problem.

Christ I wasn't expecting anything like that, wasd thinking more like 15psi, will probably try 15 to dtart with then move up to 18psi soon after x

4wd ones are much deeper. may not go under a round nose.

Getting there with the paint now.

It's all lacquered and polished. I need to do another round of polish, and then bolt it all back together, but I'm pretty happy with the finish so far. Especially for my first attempt at painting, and with minimal prep!

The colour match is pretty terrible, which is frustrating, but it's still better than having a black a-panel imho.

Here's a few photos. I'll also update later in the week when its back together with the arches and what-not.













Fun fun.
(oh, and sorry tom, I didn't do the tip you told me to do - the colour match was so bad I couldn't be bothered)

Looks OK to me, you might have done the bloody bonnet whilst you were there though!!

Looks like it might be ready for our trip to the Spa GP in the August bank holiday. Keep it up.

Finish look really well al, and i like the badge on the bonnett

I am going to do the bonnet, but it's going to either be white or black. :)

White ??

Maybe am wrong but am unsure on that.
In all honesty id like it the car colour

looks good, paint matches alrite from the pics. also what wheels are you running? they look like wellers but they fit without arches. :)

Those are 5" wellers, but they are just temp wheels until I fit my splitties :)

ooo split rims! nice looking forward to pics

Confessed addiction to everything mini
