Well since I am staying home this weekend I thought I would get a few things done on the car today. Finished night shift at 7am so had all day to mess about. 1st off was to fit the 106 diesel header tank. Went on heayer than I was expecting. Moved the PAS tank out the way and the header pretty much slid straight into place. There is a bolt through the chassis leg what I cut off, drilled 2 mounting holes for the header to be fixed to then had to cut a little but of the top mount bridge thing so I had room for the return pipe to go. Then shortened the pipes so now I have less pipes cluttering the engine bay removed the 205 header from the bulk head and that was that job done.

Next job. I didnt like the Omex sitting on top of the gearbox mount so moved it behind the passenger headlight. Still wanting to buy a box to put it in but I will buy one of them at a later date. Taped most of my loom up too to help tidy the bay up.

finally my cold air feed turned up today. Stupid me ordered 76mm what is the same size as the throttle body, should have went for maybe 80mm as the 76mm wont fit over the TB luckily I had a silicone reducer what was perfect fit onto the TB and perfect fit so sit inside the air feed. Quite happy with the bit progress so thought I would treat the car to a bath.

Off now to hopefully collect my sand blasted rocker covers and engine hoist brackets, then off to pick up a 106 electric PAS pump free of charge wish everything was free! :lmao
