Not sure where I left off with pictures.. But We are making a whole new oil pan from scratch using 6061 Grade Aluminum..Also the Exhaust manifold is finally fully welded up, I need to attack the ports with a grinder and sand it smooth. In the process right now of making the custom length Oil feed/return and water feed/return lines for the turbo. The 4 inch downpipe is welded up.. and the Radiator is fully mounted in the car.. It's getting closer!!! 


 Got new Roller and timing belt tensioner



























Need to cut throttle body down and welded aluminum Vband and Vibrant VAN JAN assembly to it, mount fmic and fab intercooler piping.. weld 90 degree elbow onto compressor of turbo. I have my full fuel system for now.. I pumped out all the old gas from the tank with an audi 1.8t pump lol I am running the stock fuel pump for now just to get it started.. 
 I got a new fuel pump filter sock to go on the pump as well as you can see in the pic the old one looks pretty worn

More updates to come after the holidays! Thanks for looking. -George
