keep it up mate
cheer pal ,had a bit of a wasted after 2day ,so after messing around with bits of steel  ,i wasnt happy so scraped the idea of the front bumper , but these wer the picture before it hit the scrap bin
not had a good  after , as i thought might as well make 2 front bumper ,i ended up i hated them so ripped them off , a waste of day today ,, these were the pics


idea as i was going to fit a intercooler in there ,,as ive hardy any room in the engine bay

i hate em ,so thought id weld it into a bumper and dint like that either lol


still hated that too ,so ripped it off and thew it in the crap bin ,,till ive more time to make something a little differnert waste of time really ,

yes but i need good cold flow ,,short burst arnt mutch good ,, bigger the volume of cold flowing air will worrk a treat ,
small update
 rear wheel spacers arrived

thought id fitt hem



then added the pair and looks loads better but unsure if   ok ,as i reckon it should be because the rear is light and the tyres have a great dish inside and out side so should put extra load on the wheel bearings ,,,any thoughts

tell you what m8 u could make some good money doin all this

how much would you charge someone to do a car like u doin the caddy m8

it annoys me doin a straight standard engine swap let alone a custom swap with homemade manifolds andcustomised axles and everything lol

and you do this for fun

its crazy

u got some reall skills m8

if you can make manifolds like that can you do body panels with fibreglass?? or r you more of a metal worker

as for that engine in my golf id love it lol but insurance wise it would kill me lol keepin to my 1.6 for next year mite tune it a lil bit tho just like better manifolds an cam tuned carb but thats about all my insurance will let me do gt to keep the price down lol mite go for a tin top  project for the year after then i'll bring it to you lol
