The lack of firewall between you and the tank. It's just too close for comfort, in my eyes. If it goes up, it's just too close.

The firewall is the last thing to go in, it's much easier to work on the car without one, next stage is actually the cage and bulkhead.

Any updates on this?

I REALLY need to see this in action!

I keep searching google for 'Volvo T5 becomes first car to land on the moon'

it's surely his next step?!

How the hell did I miss this thread?

And why no updates, has the OP finally been committed?

[claymore]

No real updates, still plodding on slowly.

[claymore]

For all the worriers, the bulkhead is now done.

Claymore, how does the rear coming setup work? Guessing a rear mounted rad and intercooler? Are you just using a single intercooler on the rear setup?

You can shut the gate on this one, it's the ducks guts!

There's one intercooler behind the engine with the radiator, and there's another intercooler and oil cooler sticking out of the roof.

just to show that I'm not dead and things are still happening.

I’ve been following this thread from the start and even with everything else you’ve done... a flip front was the last thing I expected to see!

Not sure how I missed this thread - Not often a thread puts a genuine smile on your face all the way thru!

Part of the reason for the flip front was to make it easier to get on and off the transporter and of course all the extra access.

Can I ask, as I am following a similar project.... on the BMW mini by pass valve, does it matter which way round the valve is? I can see that it opens with engine vacuum, but is there a correct way to fit it. Can you get it back to front (as in the air flow path)? Thanks.
