cheers getting there now but still loads to do
thats the charge cooler header tank and pump i have also fitted a drain valve that goes through the boot floor so i can drain the ice water from it.
i have been thinking about the water injection tank i want to hide as much as i can so my thoughts are to cut the fuel tank in about a 1/4 of the way along and weld a bulkhead into it, weld it back up with a second filler neck for the water injection what do you think?
