Thanks! 

Front seat project.. My girlfriend decided to restore one pair of front seats. Result is amazing 









And at the same time I assembled the engine. Well it's not finished yet but I'm getting there...

The seat covers look amazing Tate your lass has done a great job May be you ought to start manufacturing them  Aren't we getting a little serious using a dial gauge on the rockers or are you pretending to dial the cam in

Thanks Pete As you may know these high end race engines need to be adjusted 101% correctly

Credit where credits due Tate Its getting there

[Tate]

My engine team (that's me) is pushing hard to get the engine ready..

[Tate]

Hmmm... working hard or hardly working.... 

[Pete126]

I thought you were on holiday

[Tate]

Bump!!! 

Girlfriend made these covers for front coilovers. Made from high quality material.



Spacer for clutch release bearing





I had to modify the rear seat frame because of this:

[Tate]

ATS alloys needed something.. well they got what they asked for... 









Last big paint project was the roof... I almost decided not to do this but I love the result...   

First step was to fully cover the car





Then I sanded the surface with P500



Last step was to ruin the nice new white paint

[Tate]

Thanks!  

I made these stainless steel pipes to the cooling system



Then my friend TIG welded them





After welding I made the pickling process (or what ever it is called in english)







This part reflects the hard engineering which is used to this car...  



All cooling pipes welded!



Aeromystical box....  



Engine bay

[Tate]

Most of the parts in the enginebay have started to find their place. It have taken a lot of time to think where and how to attach everything.



Today I also made the exhaust. I cutted the Yoshimura silencer because it was too long. 



Then I welded the exhaust together from pieces and wrapped "thermotec" around it.

that is looking really sweet
