Only one picture of the girlfriend? Very nice

Cool project, just make sure you leak test your welds and grind them smooth and nobody will be the wiser

Need more pictures of the GF, preferably topless...

And don't take her for a drive until you get those rear control arms figured out.

Where are you routing the crossover from the driver's side feeding the hot side? Did you decide to go back to EFI? I thought you were running carb.

one thing to keep in mind is to be careful of creating too much slag inside the piping...would be a shame to have some come loose and tweak those nice new turbo wheels

as a welder i would be worried about using a mig welder on the hot side plumbing. mig has a tendancy to fail more often than tig when you have a decent amount of pressure on the welds. but it looks good man good luck with the build!

Are you running just a single turbo on the passenger side of the engine? I don't see a cross over pipe from the driver side?

For those wondering about the driver side.. gona put v-clamp or something similar where it is cut. for easier install, and take out.. Possible thinking of those flex exhaust hose's.
