Grinded easy over some parts thats going for gold zink


Took the car to our own "workshop" to work on it


Closeup on the front fender


Mounted the front to check if everything fitted:)


Ofcourse it started raining so I had to take the car away again..But I mangade to weld the last trim holes on the front fender..Small rust repair on the same fender and they are ready


The welding looks good inside also

Started on the windowcleaner tank:)Cutted some parts with the plasma


After some bending



Ofcourse I had forgot a small piece on the drawing:grrr:


Made the "pumphouse"



The pump will stay her, but a bit lower..Made it like this so it wont show in the car


Parts for houseconnection and drainplug


Lid will go here, but with some piping first

2,5" pipe and elbows for the tank


Have to come up with something nice here


Grinded and cleaned for welding


Testing, but its not lying where it should now..Just to see it will fit in the hole:)



Adjusted this piece


Spotted


And adjusted and spotted the last piece:)


Finish welding




Had some luck and found this piece


Put on some welding, will put it in the lathe and make connection for the lid


First piece for the filling pipe, need to bolt the tank before I make the rest

Isn't Norway the country that does a lot of logging, but plants so many new trees that the amount of forest is actually increasing?

28.04.13

Mounted the waterpipe to make the last bracket for it..Looks like there will be smale space for exhaust manifold:roll:



Welded:)Welded the underside after dismounting again


Dynamo/servobracket was splitted




Mounted:)Will use a electric powerstearing pump, thats why I did like this


The stick is mounted with new gasket


Mounted this again, someone know what this is?:)

Been looking at this, need to get them bolted togheter


Must take out the bolt and make a new longer that fits through the thermostat and connect with the filter:)


Made a connection for the watercleaner tank


Made "brakets" for attaching the pump with M6 threads



Cutted out this plates on the plasma..Will be wattlink rotor when its finished:)


Spotted them togheter and grinded them


Marked and drilled:)


Seen some people have problems with space on the oilpan, so I cutted the crosssupport:-P


Spotted


Turned the ends for a nice transaction


These plates I dont need anymoore


Grinded away the weldings and removed them


Got the first piece spotted on


And the second:)Now it only needs full welding and blasting before I mount the new reinforcmentplate

So you had spacetrouble there also?:)I dont think the oilpan is touching on my car, but better safe than sorry!And if I some day want to put a 2jz or something in there it can be nice with some extra space:)


05.05.13

Did some more work on the wattlink..Will weld it to the shaft before I make the hole inside


Made spacers to keep the right distance



Also welded the last pipe to my friends 960 with turbo:)Will be really cool with so little hoses!Welded a pipe for dumpvalve on the pipe I welded last time also..Will try to get a picture of the engine bay later:)
 
07.05.13

A friend at work helped me make the hole in the wattlink:)Should be H7 inside so I dont have the skills to make that..Big guy, 119 kilos and size 49 shoes:lol:


Welded the first rotor, will make one for a friend also:)


Got it in the lathe and made the end straight


He drilled with 24mm drill, finish hole should be 28


Finish inside:)Could be maximum 20 hundreds over 28 with the H7 measurment, this was 7 hundreds over


Didnt manage to cut it of in the lathe after I welded the rotor, so we cut it with grinder and put it to the fres after


Finish straightend out:)


Totaly finished after removing some sharp edges..The other one is ready for inside hole
