I'd say about 2 weeks of work left. I would've put on the final body piece (side skirt) if the doctors office would have made me wait for 2 hours! (They heard from me). I ordered my intercooler, bov flange, and ebc. Its close!

About running the 3" IC piping up between the rad and motor, it's VERY close, but it's possible. I did it on my car, with stock fans and rad. There's literally millimetres of clearance between the pipe and my A/C pulley, but it fits. Don't have to relocate the battery that way either.

I'll have to post some pics tonight.

OK been busy, lazy, didn't have a rack to work on for a while but now I'm back on it making some good progress in my mind.

-Intercooler fitted and 50% mounted
-FFIM finally cut to correct length and I'm done porting the welds that were on the inside, just have to smooth it out
-Side skirts mounted fully
-Wheel wells in
-1/2 my mkiv wheels on, but one tire is leaking GRR
-Wiring harness is like 20% installed

Still plenty of work to do, mainly I need to order some damn 2.5 intercooler piping but waiting to get paiddddddddd.

And yes John: rides will be given, girls will be picked up, speed limits will be diminshed, black Lamborghini's will be raced, ricers will be awed, the list is endless. LOL, no seriously you'll probably be one of the first rides, stop by the shop sometime...OHHH I got some wheel wells off the NA you can have too I forgot. :)
