My local HD doesn't sell MIG wire, I have to go to Lowes for metal supplies...Your's may be the same.

My Home Depot carries Lincolin Welders. This morning I found welding wire! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I hope my Miller doesn't mind strange wire. The wire is in and fab is moving forward!

I need to work on a list of crap to finish. All the little details. Like my crank pully is loose and water pump is only hand tight. I also have new coolant hose for under the car. Sitting in a box coiled up.

Sometimes I think I should have just fixed the clutch on the V8 and drove it. Then I think about how ridiculous and fast this car will be. I hope my 930 Turbo brakes will be enough stopping power!

As long as it has taken to get this complete, I think I will drive it for a year before I strip it for paint. That will give me time to enjoy it, work out the bugs and have fun before it sits on jack stands for another year...

I got the intercooler brackets installed. I beefed up the firewall with some 14ga steel. There is a small gusset onder the bracket. I found some poly bushings to isolate vibration. Below a bent up some 1/4" stock and welded to the lower firewall brace. everything fits and everything clears...

Great job on the linkage and exhaust! I need to build the same linkage for my car!

I get my wire from Home Depot. I buy it in the 5lb spool and keep spares.

This engine is so small, I can work on the front of the motor... Notice my pulley with one bolt. I noticed my turbo drain line not hooked up. Missing bolt on water pump. water pump pulley missing 2 nuts... etc...

Spent a few on the car after work. Mounted my spring loaded license plate holder. This will hide my hitch receiver hole when not in use. I also cut the exhaust tip square with the rear of the car. The outlet looks even bigger now. It's a 4"x5" oval, slightly angled down. I might even be able to get a stock valence to fit. With a little mod. Anyone have one they want to get rid of?

Make sure to invest in a good fire extigisher. You know the joke at most tracks is if there is a fire it must be a Mazda.

I've got 2 new ones! I've been thinking about installing a fire system. Halon maybe. Can't hurt...

Installed vacuum hoses from my BOV to my Boost Controller to my Waste Gate. Also cut a piece of 3" pipe lengthwise and welded it into the trunk. This wil alow my hitch pin to be inserted into the receiver tube.

Any purists turn away now! I guess you may not be reading this thread anyway...

I installed the intercooler heat exchanger in the rear quarter panel. It is ducted with a NACA duct into the fender. It was hard deciding to cut the quarter panel but, it can be repaired if I don't like it. Im using the 914-6 oil tank knock outs to route the coolant hose to the intercooler. There will be a fan on the back side of the heat exchanger to pull ari through it. I have to fab an inner fender skirt to shield road debris. Im thinking of louvers to send the air down in the same direction of the tire rotation. This should create a slight draw of air when in motion. Here are some pics...

I forgot to mention it's mounted at an angle. The front is flush with the inner firewall. The rear is close to the fender to make tha air flow and room for the fan.
