Treats for the golf

[rockmonkey69]

Finally feel I am reaching the point where I can say I am content with the progress on the golf now, had some little treats for the old girl today in the shape of some new fittings - courtesy of my long time good friend - who we shall refer to as Dr. Boost. He doesn't weld often but I feel proud enough of his work to show it.

So after Bill at Badger5 has mapped it, what this has done now is made the engine more accessible, robust and pleasing to the eye.

Epic work wish mine looked half that good

That exhaust looks awesome as does the welding

Many thanks! I am chuffed with the quality of the work too, my mate hadn't welded in years and claims it's far from his best. It's a bit loud around town at night but fortunately the system is on v-band and there's one just behind the rear beam so should I decide to change back boxes I can do so with ease.

If that's not his best welding he is truly talented

He loves to weld, mainly stainless and titanium, although he has done some ally welding for me and it looks tidy to me - he's never felt the need to test his weld and it's never leaked. Unfortunately his work has changed considerably, his line of work now mainly entails services, repairs and rebuilds. He doesn't do body work/spraying anymore and very little in the way of welding. So what he's done for me is with him over a year out of practise. It is most unfortunate, his hunter machine rarely sees track cars or bespoke builds anymore and I seem to be the only person who needs his corner weighing kit. Your kind words will mean a lot to him and I will pass them onto him. Thank you.
