New here, project pics.
 

I've built a few turbo VWs, don't have any decent pics of them. Here's what I've been working on with a buddy lately. He wanted a blower, but I showed him the light. I have 0 experience with V8s, so its been interesting. ;D Hoping to have it on the road within a month or so, still waiting on one more turbo, and then the MS install. I'm an SDS user, and he's only ever had carbs so there's lots of work to do before it runs.

I'm by no means building it for him. He's a welder by trade, so he's doing most of the fab work. I'm just helping him with what, where,why and how. :)

Re: New here, project pics.
 

There's an inner fender that goes in there so it should be ok. There wasn't a lot of room to run two 1/2" lines where the carbed lines used to be...

Re: New here, project pics.
 

Nice. Kain can't spell.

Re: New here, project pics.
 

Wow. I love it :o Any more pictures, any of the car as a whole?

Re: New here, project pics.
 

even tho I hate FORD but that thing is AWSOME :D

Re: New here, project pics.
 

Dude, I was in the exact same position. All the years defending my lowly VW against the meatheads almost out the window.

The way I'm looking at it is that anything with a turbo that isn't 'supposed' to have a turbo is cool. I'm almost as excited as he is, and I remind him that its still a ford on a regular basis. I'm going to have my work cut out for me keeping up, provided his block doesn't break in half.

Re: New here, project pics.
