single turbo cobra transplant

Doing a 4v swap into my 96 gt convertible. Its been a good build so far. I got the downpipe done the other day. Figured I would post some pics of the build. Its far from done but I'm getting closer to hearing it run! Pics are in the link below! More to come!

Did you make the fender panels bolt in? Looks like the start of an awesome build.

Pretty sure that just a few self tappers to hold them in place to check for fitment before welding

This is great. I love watching people fab up their own setups and how they approach their builds. I'll have to watch this as I have been thinking about a turbo project.

Very nice fab work. It's going to be an awesome build when you finish.

yes, I decided to bolt them in instead of welding them in so I can hide some wires under them. I ended up drilling and tapping them and will use a nice black anodized aluminum finish washer for the final install.

Great idea! Want to fab up another set?

I bought them from Scott rod fab. All I had to do was a little trimming. They also come in aluminum. He's got all kinds of great parts on his website. I would definitely recommend you check it out.

looks killer man, depending on hp goal you may need to up the down pipe size.

I've been really busy at work so I haven't made the progress I hoped to. But I did manage to get the engine bay prepped and sprayed!
