This isnt very cool I feel they should Invest in a bending bench, and as for the oil cooler bracket - that's just plain silly.

^^^ Valid point but you probably won't see that when the cars back together...  Lack of bends to ensure super strength maybe?

You'll mostly see

The blower pipe at the rear doesn't meet the 90 bend properly, why where the TB intake meets that box (which I assume is the solution to merging two blower pipes?) would you not sit the plate level with the top? Why have they ginded off the weld on the intake on the right but not on any other pipework? I could go on. When this build started I was all for defending the work going into it but they just dont seem to have the attention to detail/perfection that such a build deserves.

There must be 2 threads running about this build, in this one I commented about the floor change was a good idea, as it saved lots of fabrication work.
there is also a thread, where I commented about the quality of the work... not very good I'm afraid! I remember commenting on a pic of the pick up point for the track control arm... looking like a dogs dinner :sad:
