very nice, how did you get the cvh thermostat housing to fit? didnt think they were a direct fit

[FRSJON]

fantastic progress here mate,
very jealous!!!

cheers rob but i dont see why? yours is on another level! (and red )

[FRSJON]

very nice, how did you get the cvh thermostat housing to fit? didnt think they were a direct fit

nearly every part on this car ISNT a direct fit i drilled and tapped the head to accept it as you can see the housing has had a bit of work too,the pipe that normally comes out the front and goes to the heater has now been modded to be a water feed for the turbo...

Great progress Jon! For future reference, the 1.4 PTE housing is a direct bolt on

[Simon84uk]

Wow another project thread I missed!

This really does look awesome, some things I may need to look into for mine when I come to re-do the shell over winter. I'll keep an eye on this thread, great to see this again after seeing it when it was Shauns (think it was at some show in 2007 or something).

I like the stripes, I think they suit it. Must be a marmite thing seeing as it's about 50:50 Lovers:Haters.

Keep up the good work, looks ace


Si.
