If only I could weld.
Come on Colorado Alan, you just taught yourself.
Or Randy’s Ryan. He can weld, bend pipes, all sorts.

 Good eye Pat
But I see a G and A on the pictures. There is a guy who used to  work for spondon. I think Galvin something. I think it's GIA.? I can't remember. I hate old age. I used to have  a photographic memory. Now I can't remember what I was just going to do.

That’s great news, thanks Dan and Jacob!
I was bummed when Spondon closed their doors. It’s great to hear their work continues.
Cool looking build...I wonder how the oil drains from the turbo?

Now let’s get to the important go fast bits - any pics of the plenum?  Also assume it is EFI?  What TBs?

Rb racing built the turbo I have.  I got it from a guy who bought it and never got got around to installing it. Paid $1500 for it. My brother and I were both bidding on it and didn't know.

I can only dream of being able to weld something that nice!
