Been a while since i last posted any updates on my 5 , its currently stripped and awaiting me getting my finger out and getting some body work issues sorted (just dont have money to spend on it at the mo )
Anyway keen as ever my m8's been busy tinkering with the engine here's some pics of the head and throttles .
Looks very smart mate have you done extra work to the head
Looks good, Surely that won't fit though, will foul the bulkhead?
firewall removed?
I think that's still there mate looks like it fits in looking at the pics in his profileOriginally Posted by Tony Walker
yeah looks like it does
This pic shows the inlet ports which ive had machined a bit more , and some welding ive done after removing the bulk head / fire wall .
Yeah i dont have a firewall. Welcome killer fumes into the cabin i reckon!
Ive welded up all the holes , apart from the fan hole , still undecided yet on what to do here have been toying with a couple of ideas , but i know i aint wanting any fumes in the cabin .Yeah i dont have a firewall. Welcome killer fumes into the cabin i reckon!
Make a custom box around the fan hole
Plate to size and smartly weld on done. Think of the room inside car with that matrix /dash box gone!! Niiice
as it's christmas and all, you will find most large tins of chocolates lids come up trumps here. Get the tiger seal out and you're a winner.
You'll have to remove the fan, matrix etc and install a remote unit.
what i meant to say was that , im unsure if ill lose the heaters / fan and just weld that hole up or actually make some sort of cover / ducting over the fan .
Id rather keep the hot air blower for demisting the windows and its dam cold & wet here in scotland most of the year .
Looks nice work, I'm in a similar predicament with whet to do. Have you not welded up the heater matrix holes? So it's just gonna be cold air with the standard fan!
dont think there is any more metal can come off these now
Almost foil runners.
