Nice rebuild, i have just read the lot!
When you removed the old panels how did you get the old rivet ends out of the chassis tubes?
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

To remove most not all of the rivet ends I cut the ends of the box section off with a 1mm slitting disk in the tubes that I though would house the
most ends, then blew compressed air through until they flew out. Ended up quite a mess with bits all over the floor, but well worth it. Once I was
happy with a good amount of ends being removed, just tig welded the ends of the box section back on. I also drilled out some holes with the hole
cutter in some of the tubes that were not blanked off, ie met another tube end on so cut the hole rivets out and then weld back up.
Just for good measure I pumped end a little grease in a few places just to catch any rivet ends that may roll around. But I don't think I will
hear them rattling around when I'm driving the car.

Following on from the charge cooler, i forgot i had made the header tank for the engine cooling system.
Bought a header tank top from ebay and had some tube lying around, cut some holes out of some alloy plate for the top and bottom and welded the thing
up.
Sorry no build pictures just the end result.

On with the build rebuild blog re-build with lots pictures blog diary.
Decided to make a new plenum chamber for the blade engine. Did loads of searching, a few u2u’s here there and blatant copying of other designs, bit of
a mongrel really lol.
But all said and done it looks very good, for now I’m going to leave as it is, it might need a few bits adding here and there like strapping down tabs
etc.
All thoughts and critics welcome, I won’t stalk you forever.

Had some carbon sheet left over, this was going to be the bit behind the seats, but some kind person (aka the invisible man) here at work cut a
100x100mm square hole out of it, so it was then too short, to this day no one has admited to this crime, bastardo's.
So cut it down to size for the foot well cover.

Decided to have a go at fitting the rear arches, but i came across a problem. I had a gap there the curve of the arch meets the frame.

So after a call to an old friend for a bit of advice we came up with a solution (he had the same problem on his very first car he built), so cut and
welded up some plate and fabricated some infill panels.

Just had a quick look at your charge cooler, the jacket is quite a large flat sheet, I would be tempted to pressure test this it may
"swell" a bit at 15psi water pressure (or what ever these BEC use)??... You might need some enforcing ribs or something..

there's not much pressure going through the tank water wise, just a constant flow of water using a small water pump.
Well i hope lol, thanks

o.k was assuming it's working on the existing radiator coolant loop (cold side).

Cold side of the rad will still be hot, so it needs to run on a seperate circuit.
Joe, have you tried to make sure the entire core is in the water flow (i.e. inlet and outlet pipes on opposite sides of the core and as far away from
eachother as possible)? This is hard to see from the pictures and could make a significant difference to the efficiency of the cooler.
Nice looking work and rapid progress by the way, keep it up!

The inlet is right at the bottom far away as possible to the outlet on the top. So hopefully there's enought water and no air going through
All runs on a separate cooling and electrical circuit too, there's loads of pipes lol
Thanks all for the comments, next job get the rear arches fitted, got a busy weekend though. But will see if I can have a bit of chill time

Hi Joe.
Just been looking at some of the pics. One thing i notice is that you have a set of the very ugly MK1 wishbones on the front. Ill upgrade you to some
of the much later ones. I am sure3 i have a few sets spare lying around. Ill sort a set out FOC.
Cheers Matt

Thread reported to mods due to excessive pram-ness.
Seriously this is going really well and I'm watching avidly, particularly the turbo bit, was hoping to do mine last year, but other things in
the way and taking my time. Your doing a great job, could you knock me up a plenum when you're bored?
What Turbo have you got/planned?
