All for now!

 

sweet thanks, i was looking for a pic in the thread and thought i would bump it it said its been over 120 days

 

your hedders are sick

 

Looks like your headers got a little tangled up, I hate it when that happens! The fab work is top notch. Makes me want to tear my turbo setup a part and re do it!

 

wow!! very very detailed fabrication. i hope to make headers one day....and i will hope they turn out atleast half as good as yours.

 

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like the work

70 5.0Merc: What do you mean with that the headers are a little tangled up?

 

Wow !!! Nice to see cars from other parts of the world. Excellent craftsmanship. I hate to say it but your work is better then the rest of the work done on the car. Its almost a shame you did not start completely from scratch. Still Very Nice!!!

 

Sick in that context means great.

Your fabrication work is top notch. Wish i could do that stuff!
And dont worry about your english, its Excelent.

 

I have a question, on the motor mount plate tabs on the frame rails. Why didn't you put the tabs behind the plate so when you put the motor in you can slide it back to the transmission instead of having to lower it behind those tabs? Just curios.

 

awesome build man,what part of sweden are you from,the company i work for is out of NORSBORG

 

Jesus Christ man, is there anything that you cant build???? Your work is unbelievable. Hats off to you bro.

 

i still wanna know what those JGS bov's sound like

 

´Thanks
I started building on a Volvo 142 -73, but found this car forsale and just loved it, and I thougt it would be less work on this one
I will test the car and chassi as it is right now, and maybe build a new tube chassi winter -09 if it don't satisfi (spelling?) me.

Thanks. I'm from south of sweden. What caind of company is that?

I can say that thats nothing i thought about, really stupid acctually. But its no problem to put the motor in now, but you are right it had been much better.


Thanks everybody for the good words.

I have finnisht up my new turbo collector and milled the flange straigt also. Some pics will come soon.

 

Tangled up like a knot. Get it, a joke ha ha.

 

Hehe now i understand, yes they are like a big knot

 

What angle did you mill the tubing for collectors, and how did you fill in the space?
Thanks.

 

Thanks. I'm from south of sweden. What caind of company is that?
