The Frog v3 - 242 LTT

Made a temporary fuel system today with a chinese-044. Want to have in-tank pumps later.
The bracket is for auxiliary lights on a light bar in the front of a big Volvo truck. Really nice fit :)

When you are getting close to a startup and you dont have the patience to make a good ground in the trunk this can be a nice solution :)

Wasnt feeling so well tonight so i just put the radiator and intercooler on the car and tacked up some piping between intercooler and turbos.
Worthless pic but you can see that the radiator is pretty big :)

Its getting there! The wires for lighting, fans, horn, wideband and some more are now under the front fenders for a cleaner look. Started putting the fenders and bumper back together

Rattlecanned the front lip green as it was blue from the beginning but its a little to stylish for my taste so i will maybe put a stock un-painted one on later

this is looking soo good! Your progress is awesome and I feel like its a very short amount of time before we see you slaying some tires.
 
Super cool fabrication going on. I don't even understand how you are making it all fit in there. I love it.
 
Woho! Green hood hinges at last! :D

Some vacuum- and coolant-hoses to do and it will be ready for some longer startups

This is rad. Some great inspiration photos here!

I'm curious to read your impressions once you have it running & driving. I'm planning a similar project but using a 245 as the base vehicle and adding a 4.6L "3 valve" V8 from a 2005 Mustang GT, with twin GT2860RS turbos, and a 5-spd T45 trans. I have all the parts and the car but it's still in the project queue.
 
Got nothing better to do so started with the interior. Dont make me sit in the middle in the back seat :)

But it was nice to get the back seat in the car again, now i have somewhere to sit when im tired(happens pretty often) :) (to bad someone had drilled a bunch of holes in the dashboard before i bought the car, but will maybe put a bracket for a tablet connected to the VEMS)

Almost got the dashboard all together again and the shifter too, with working neutral safety switch(not so important when i dont even have a transmission :) ) But now i can sit in the car and play around some...feels good!

In the video i start it for the first time that day and without touching the gas pedal...but will have someone help me with the tuning later on.
