Danny's 7th D turbo, *BEEN BROKEN*

[Danny2009]

The heads been rebuilt and new gasket set so I hope it will not leak but it is a xud lol knowing my luck after all this effort getting it nice it will spot a rod a cover everything in oil

[Frosty]

Whats the plan with the engine? Different turbo?

[Chris_90]

Looking good but carnt see that engine stopping that clean for long Lol

[Danny2009]

I've got a larger turbo for now, hope it stays clean its taken me a lot of time and effort, it will get a wash underneath aswel as the body work

[Danny2009]

Got the turbo and inlet on so engines ready to go in the bay now



What do people think?

So it turns out you was right Matt

[Dum-Dum]

I'm not sure it would of been my colour of choice with black but then I'm not sure I could pick a better colour. Good work on putting the effort in though.

[Grant]

As Dum-Dum said, maybe not the first colour that I would have gone for, but fair play to you.

I really want to paint my engine bay black, but I'm not sure if I can be arsed with stripping everything out..

[Matt]

Looks good mate liking the blue

[Danny2009]

I was thinking green or red originally but the seats are the only blue thing on a black car that's what swayed me to blue

Think it will look better when the engines In

[Danny2009]

Update!

Fans painted



Engine in and wired up



Only a few week to fcs now getting close!

[Dave]

Why have you just sprayed your wings aswell lol

[Danny2009]

Doors forward needs painting every panel so I just left them on

[Piggy]

what the hell...be different! looks good I say...better than black

[Danny2009]

I wasn't sure but now engines in and slam panels on it oops better

[Danny2009]
