Josh's 7M-GTE MA61 progress. (UBER dialup warning)

Well, I'm going for my engineer's cert tomorrow (eep), so today I had a few little things tidied up - mainly around my old pod filter. Out with the yucky foam unifilter, in with the apexi pod(Unifilter pod for sale, anyone?  ). I chatted with the engineer, and he said 90-95% he knocks back first time around. Pretty harsh stuff! Anyway, in aid of passing I had a nice box fabbed up around the new pod filter.
Sadly going for a chop on a stock airbox of some kind just wasn't an aption. I really did try, but there's just no room there - it sits up too high and the bonnet doesn't close. Stupid 7M and it's damn inlet manifold! If there wasn't all that intercooling piping around the pod it would be a snack. The engineer said he frowned apon chopped up stock airboxes anyway, so this was the better of 2 options.
Called up Performance Metalcraft in Rydalmere first - $580 quote (without looking at it, so I know it would've gone up even more). Thanks, NEXT. Micks Metalcraft - $400-$600, depending on inspection. NEXT! I'm getting a bit worried at this point. This is when I get tipped off to a place called "Groove Ryder Fabrications". Gave them a call - $200 bucks. SWEET!
They say a picture tells a thousand words, so here's a 12,050 word essay on what Groove Ryder Fabrications did to my baby today.
Cleared the way. Took out all the junk and made room to work. The space in the photo looks a lot bigger than it is in reality.
Cut templates out of cardboard.
Using sheet aluminium (1.3mm from memory).
Minor adjustments with file and die-grinder to make it flush.
The new pod.
The new pod and my AFM (a 1uz item). Sadly the two didn't match up. Some unexpected fabbing was needed (an extra $60).
End result of said fabbing. A very tidy little adapter.
In it all goes with nice new gasgets (I'm really starting to admire these Groove Ryder guys).
The top piece.
Mountings for the top piece.
