I was looking at a scania I found in hereford city spares, the intercooler was the size of a 306 bonnet haha.
Anyway I think Il have a think about gearbox mounting a td05 and finding something smaller to spool it

I think Il get the manifolds done In stainless rather than random exhaust bits like I did on the hatch, yeah It does the job but looks gash when the surface rusts starts, Il be getting that remade in stainless too at one point

the warm weather has left me feeling really motivated to actually do something so treated the sedan to an oil change, cleaned the airfilter, cleaned all the boost pipes out, steamcleaned the engine, fitted decent speakers to the front doors and finally wired in the boost gauge
also trial fitted a straight through but need to get hold of some decent exhaust pipe to make a proper one, it certainly goes alot better without the restricting silencers though

I put my ground lda pin off the hatch in since its not using it at the moment, livened the turbo up a fair bit im going to be building another hybrid pump with zx_volcane for her and get it on the dyno after that unless another rr day pops up before that happens, i am pretty interested in knowing how much torque there is as its still surprising me now and then with the explosive wheelspin i checked the fuel filter, its still clean, been running on straight diesel since the last change. going to tackle the rust under the rear door seals this week, after that the shell will be mint, i might even change the wing lol

Had to put alot if effort into clearing the garden so I fan get my workshop put in. Spent at least 3 hours a day up to 8 at most doing it for the last week. 4 large trees felled, shrubs trimmed, shed flattened and cut up ready for the dump just gotta get rid of the base and the dead fox underneath. I moved to Aylesbury which is about 40 miles north of London. Got my wheels making a great coffee table, 6 manifold in the cupboard and a lowering kit at my mum's. She looked beautiful yesterday with the roof off but desperately needs a,wind deflector. Not gonna out up a project thread till I've had her a month. Got loads of photos though.
