that looks great!

**Nobbie** · 18-11-2007, 22:13

I'm liking the matt black, evil as funk!!

That what i want mine like, with black wheels, and a silver edge and stripe down the side.

The Simps · 18-11-2007, 22:45

Nice!!!

InsaneSwede · 19-11-2007, 09:01

Thanks guys..

But remember.. this is only a temporary solution.
As my friend died in that accident.. this is the very least i can do.

I´ll paint it red and nice next winter.
This also free´s up some time to finish the engine.

And.. one more plus... it will almost be invisible in the next summers nightshiftraces

astragsi · 08-12-2007, 23:43

whats left to do on the car then??

i carnt wait for some vids of this beast

InsaneSwede · 12-12-2007, 08:19

There´s not much at all.
but i have a lot of work to do at this time of the year.(portflowing heads etc etc)

But i have laid plans for upstart in late February.

Also i have these news:
There were small plans to eventually run PeterG´s manufacturing in smaller scale.
But they have decided that they will NOT run it further.
The 'shop' 'company' is closed.

**Nobbie** · 12-12-2007, 09:27

Thats a shame, i heard good stuff about his work. Are they in the vain that if he's not around it wouldn't be the same?

InsaneSwede · 12-12-2007, 11:29

no no..
it´s on a more family level.

I feel it myself.
When i´m about to build my own manifold in the forthcoming days i feel stressed and are easily annoyed. thought are running in my head,, being reminded all the time..

The family feels the same... it´s too close to the accident at this moment so they decided to throw in the towel.

maybe in the future.. but that might be about 5 years.. who knows..

Started to build the new model of exhaustmanifold.
I mocked up one before that i posted pics of earlier, but that was nearly impossible to fit underneeth the hood.

So i started today to build a more 'normal' model of manifold.
