Thanks guy's!

This is a project in progress and is now nearing completion! I finished the body about two years ago and since then have been busy with the engine!

I will upload more pictures tomorrow.

Nice. I have a RHD 28 too so no how hard it must have been to figure out where the exhaust down-pipe was going to go.

The problem I have is the ABS block is in the way.

Well done. Would like to see some more pictures please

Yip, you have it right! Could not find enough space for the turbo down pipe at the rear of the engine bay as steering collumn takes up most of the space!! Hence I had to turn the turbo around and install this 100mm pipe to get cold air to the turbo! Please note that this is an installation in progress and many things can still change?? I will post another picture of the current set up!

I am in the chemical industry and by no means good at any mechanical work! I however wanted to do everything myself but almost gave up when it came to the turbo header! I however conquered!!
Welding the header in place.

Complete with the welding

Beautiful car, but not feeling it on the wheels. To modern looking for an E12.

Dropped the suspension by 30mm.

The car and engine look awesome! I'm not really feeling the wheels. Maybe something more period correct would do the trick for me. Nice build though!

Changed the exhaust!
