Getting somewhere with the car finally

Took these last evening. Before i can start the car up, I have to do the following:

-header gasket
-drill out some of the header flange bolt holes
-tranny lines
-water lines
-radiator hoses
-intercooler water tank mounting & plumbing
-finish bottom of downpipe
-finish TIG weld downpipe


After that, to DRIVE the car, I need
-driveshaft
-brake master cylinder and lines
-reinstall windshield and drivers seat and seatbelt

Here are the photos I took

Guido,
Looks Sweet!!! Did you decide where you are going to put the altenator? And are you going to be able to keep the A/C?

Guido,

I can't wait for the results of this project. Just wondering though. Is that light oxidisation on the turbo?

Im putting a window air conditioner inthe passenger side window Don. LMAO!!

Here are a few more photos I took last night of my further downpipe progress. I think Im going to leave it open like this for now so i can concentrate on other ****. I can at least start the car up with the exhaust like this.

Yes that is light oxidation on the turbo. nothing much I can do about it except get it coated. no $ for that right now so I am going to make a shield to go around it.
