Re: UK Sam's 1.6 Turbo MX-3 project
Cheers Bro! been working lathes now for coming upto 13 years now
Factory shutdown! so Im on Holiday now!!woop!!
Cant finish the tank now though
Needed to do a bit of sussing out anyways...
...thinking clear filler hose or see through green hose
would look quite mental.

12" slimline fan on order to make even more room!
you know just incase i want to go twin turbo,lol
Been checking out how straight I can get this boost
hose in there ( represented by the metal pole)

be back soon with full rad install.

Ford Capri pressure cap.

cut tank down a bit to get the lower filler pipe higher
