really interesting too see all the welding, i'm doing a MIG course at college

Keep it up!

aye, MIG is definatly the technique to start with. i've done some MIG in the past and at work and at home we don't have a MIG machine. my dad calls it "schijt-lassen", best english description besides "shit-welding" is that he means that you purely weld on top of the material, whereas with TIG you initially get the chance to melt 2 surfaces of the weld together.

it's definatly a difficult welding technique and since i've only been randomly busy with the TIG machine (mainly for this car) and see what i can do with quite limited amount of experience; i think i'm quite quick learning i've set my mind into aluminium-welding with TIG (wich is again a different technique) after this summer, for multipoint-injection manifolds and stuff like that

hahahaha wtf, how the hell did you find that so quickly

I'm not stalking you. Honest.

I just found all the youtube channels for V3Mers (and a few 300 power ones I think) and subscribed. I figured anything 300 related would be interesting in my sub box.

and, a fresh MOT! with compliments of the garage, no advices or anything.

here's a pic starring Tom's 360 daily


so now i can finally concentrate on getting the car going Turbo again

Toms daily wins at staring.

Itknows if it flinches or tries to run, your car will catch it, f@ck it and eat it.

Good news on the pass dude. Always good to hear a No Advisorries.

Anjo's phone-foto flattery fades out the rusty bits on my car quite well Well done on the MOT!

Cheers

CNC-milled the flange today after work, even got time to get M8 thread in it


i WAS planning to build, fabricate and weld the rest of the manifold this weekend; not so sure about that atm because it's going to freeze and i've got to stand outside i'm not a pussy but frozen hands make accurate measurements etc impossible, i'm more worried about the quality of the work than me freezing my ass off

mobile-outdoor-workspace:


with the turbo engine dropped in..


new studs


and here comes the manifold work..


and afer 2sec i hit the first snag


the middle 2 pipes didn't fit and got stuck into the intake manifold...
so out comes the grinder, and there you go:


hope the rest goes a little smoother

picking up a load of special items tomorrow morning, back to this in the afternoon.

Love the engine compartment Want one for my appartment, I guess girlfriend dissagree

Keep up the work, want to see the über B14 running again.

bodykit for the 340


and R-Sport steering wheel for the 343

first runner is tacked





should've done all this a year ago, working this way is lovely !!!



build a load of ideas for the rest of the tubular, that will come out great. only thing i'm not sure about is the wastegate, need to make a new bracket for it unfortunatly

well, went at it yesterday evening but couldn't even get the second runner on, it just didn't fit the way i wanted and i couldn't get it ok..
so a fresh idea this afternoon after work was transferred onto the manifold, now there were 2 runners!


and after that i couldn't stop , 3rd on:


houston we have a stainless tubular manifold , well atleast it's all tacked together
bolted it onto the turbo engine to check clearences:







very happy with it, runner equal lengts and individual runner resistance is spot on!

bolted the manifold to a 15mm thick steel plate, then drilled holes to fit a backing-gas system


after that i started on some of the final welds this evening, there's even a slight chance i get the whole thing welded tomorrow evening

after a lot of this:


and this:


it's all welded







not bad for an amature if i may say so




think i might get it running again in time for the next Elandrun

Keep the photos and updates coming... If I could work at even a 1/10th of your rate, I'd get a door mirror done in about 6 weeks.
