Just a few pictures of yesterdays work  Sorry about the quality.
The bonnet wouldnt close so we modded the cam cover a little:
This was to allow fitment of the new alloy tank:

love the boot mate. I want the same thind done in mine. I take it u did it yourself at home? Did you use any bracing before cutting the 'well' out? IN case of lateral flex?

I did the work at my engineers workshop. I cut the spare wheel well out myself and then cut out the new plate to fit. I cant weld for shit so the guys at the workshop did the welding for me
You dont need to worry about flex or anything if you on flat ground.

That intake manifold is looking pretty nice. Who made it and did you use any software modelling in the design of it?

I know I'm just out of the loop here, but what car is that exactly? And what's going on with the spare wheel well?

Josh, the inlet manifold is just an experiment at the moment. Its just some 3 inch pipe welded onto some ram tubes. The design of ram tubes used were found to work best on N/A 2 liter engines.
The car is a TA22. The spare wheel well was removed to allow a drop tank to hang below.

Its the same thickness as the rest of the floor. Just remember that it will ne some bracing under the floor so that the new plate doesnt rattle.
