project stuka Options

[paroxysm]

just thought I'd better start a thread for a project that I've been working on for about 9 years.
had a car in 99 i had done up fine

but one day the passenger door would not open,and said hey how about an engine swap, bought a 2.2 six and then realized 125hp was not enough, so a v8 became my goal. Destiny had other plans.

The car I had built for my wife was finished off by an eager srt4 neon

I was the driver had my leg broken in 3 places, but I lived.

mocking up stage. I replaced the bondo slante nose look with fiberglass fenders

now that 90% of the bodywork was done it was time to get the car to actually run, and just this last weekend I did get it running. The reason for calling it a stuka is the lysholm charger sounds like an air raid siren. I will post up a vid of it running when i get a chance.

I thought I update my little progress that has been done to this car.
During winter I decided to ditch the 916 front bumper and go back to the stock bumper. Working on it under the deck is a pain in the ass.

I drove it out from under the deck.

I removed the old intercooler and have started my water to air conversion, but i could only find one spot to put it in.

Which meant I had to redo most of my boost pipes.

So now I had to find something else that needs cold air, and found a 3 inch cold air intake by chance at the local wrecker for $9 that i chopped down to size, I will paint it later I'm not a fan of the blue.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i106.photobucket.com-1888-1464919242.6.jpg)
But now I needed somewhere to put the heat exchanger. I mounted it up front without looking first, and found no more room for the additional water lines. So I settled on the other extreme the rear of the car.
