Well I figured I would dig in a little bit, what started as a fuel pump replacement (WHICH I STILL HAVEN'T DONE), has now turned into... this..,. painted engine Saturday night, as well as fixed all the rusty areas on the firewall. Replaced rear wheel bearings. Now I am waiting on Minivation hinges, a bunch of fun stuff from DSN, and some other odds and ends. Anyway, here are a few pictures...

Where did you get that rocker cover from? Looks class!

I got it off Ebay.uk a year or two ago. Was a small company/individual doing rocker covers, that and turbo manifolds. It is very nice though, my favorite valve cover I have ever owned. It's black wrinkle powder coated.

Not sure what more info I can provide you about the heater, here is where I bought it from with all the specs:

http://www.t7design....products_id=310

 

Very compact, lightweight, can have multispeed fan (I made mine a 3 speed with pull out switch). Pretty straight forward install. Unfortunately I have not tested it yet, other than when setting up fan speeds/wiring. Still putting car back together, but hopefully with a productive week I will have the car running this week or next and see how it can heat a Estate.

Well the shiny bits have arrived! Already popped a couple in place, but hopefully will start buttoning up a lot of stuff this week and get closer to being back on the road before I pull it off again for the SC12 install. Here are some pictures:

 

 

Something I have wanted to get for a while... Minivation hinges for the clubby. Gonna get these on this week!

 

 

Also, some more goodies via DSN. I would have wanted to get more, such as the billet oil filter setup, but what we have here is... Engine steady, thermostat housing, heater takeoff, 2 bulkhead plates, and fuel pump blank. Hope to get the Mini put together end of this week or next.

Minivation hinges installed last night. So far I think they are a great product and really make it so much easier to work under the bonnet.

They're on my next "parts to buy" list

[leaky]

Nice! Agree I got them on my roundnose want them on both the clubbys now as well haha.

This is awesome. The stance on it is incredible. Good work buddy ! ohh and yes videos needed.

While we are still getting some snow, decided to start mocking the MR2 supercharger on the clubby. I'm waiting for a few odds and ends to show up, and still have to tweak the tappet covers, waiting on a 10psi pulley, trying to decide on getting a standard boost gauge or to pony up for the AEM failsafe unit. Also finally got my dash in, and finished making up my switch panel.
 
Anyway, here are a few pictures:
 

 

 

 
Picked up a old school MSD Boost timing master
 

 
The "Freeflow" header needed some massaging, which I can only assume was because I am using a long engine steady, it just touches the rear of the subframe right before the bend.

I was working on the smaller details while waiting on some parts (tappet covers to mod, 10psi crank pulley, catch can, boost gauge, and speakers). So I fabbed up this 1/2" heater hose line to bring the return line to the other side so it is clear of the supercharger. I think it turned out good. Just waiting on 1/2" bulk head plate to run heater hoses through.

 

 

 

Painted green. Thinking about putting some crinkle black on the supercharger, we will see.
