    94 GQ Coil Cab

    Pulled the bull bar off this morning and only snapped half the bolts in the process.

    The UHF antenna even came off easier than expected thanks to rats having chewed it's cable in half behind the battery.

    Plan is to replace the DTS air box with a Radius air box when it arrives and install the FMI & oil catch can, along with trying to direct more air through the rad while I'm in there.
    Not sure the old rust bucket is worth it but at this stage it's all good fun.

    Been a while but a little progress has been made.
    Moved the alternator wiring and the vacuum hose but still needs a bit more work to make sure it is secure and wont rub a hole.

    Lost a little gas when changing the angle of the AC fitting at the front and it seems I have gotten away with bending the pipes by hand to move the AC dryer to the side a bit.
    Shortened the rad hose a little so that it clears the hot side intercooler pipe.

    Hot side Intercooler piping is about done but still a bit to go on the cold side.
    Trimmed a bit off the battery box corner and will probably buy a bit shorter belt for the power steering.

    Mate just dropped off the manifold inlet for me he had welded together after hacking up the old DTS inlet.
    Still need to trim a bit more out from the grill and find some mesh to cover it up without affecting airflow to much I hope.

    Watching with interest. Nice job.

    I'm planning to "slap a turbo on" one or three of mine. I was going to go for top-mount intercooler, just from a space and airflow perspective (winch, bars, grille etc) but always interested to see what people come up with...

    Finished of the intercooler mounts.
    Picked up two 45 to finish the last stretch of pipping into the manifold but it was too close to the power steering so I used a 90 that was left from the original DTS intake but it looks to need a little trimmed off so that it is not pushing into the battery, tomorrows job.
    The 90s above the manifold do touch the liner but I am not sure how hard they pres against it, should probably look into that.

    Looking Great Dasa Mate
    Wondering/imagining/possibly your real corrugations home area roads your IC might appreciate some vibration shielding Brother



    Rubber washer (homemade) either side of your L bracket retained by a washer top and bottom and maybe a longer stud required to allow 2 x nuts underneath to lock off without over compression of the rubber anti-vibe homemade goodies
