[iamduda]

ehhh.. I guess I should post all the crap that I do to my car. It can help many of you during the process of your own builds. If you guys have any questions about any setup in the car just ask away.. i'll be happy to reply or help you with anything that you might need.

I posted my setup once a few years ago but here it is again just for kicks:

I guess all the other goodies are not important to mention unless you want to know which seats, steering wheel, pedals, and other cosmetic stuff I use. i you want to know just let me know.

Anyway.. I got bored during my paternity leave so i started my tube front end with V Mount Intercooler / Poweer steering / Oil Cooler setup as well as rear mount radiator setup. Its not completely finished but i'll start posting updated pics. Only things to finish are routing all the tubing / hosing of radiator back tot he engine, lexan rear window with air ducting to radiator, intercooler piping to V-mount setup and... that it. Should be finished in the next 2 or 3 weeks tops.

A few pics of the cars transformation over the years:

Does the oil cooler cap work on the M52 oil filter housing or have you swapped out?

I had to swap it out for an M50 one. It was a straight swap tho.. no biggie.

What's that thermostat housing with the bleed screw? I need that in my life.

LOL! that has been the #1 question everywhere everytime! hahahaha.. its an M52 E39 housing =)

this thing looks rad! Those tubing couplers or whatever (on the tube front bars to the strut towers) are trick, Where'd you get those from?

could this be used for a temp gauge?

Probably. Would read oddly if there was an air pocket tho.

Any pictures of the rear subframe or diff mounting? I like your work!

I got them at a truck race shop. Those are common on Jeep and Throphy trucks

Thanks man! I guess I'm alright for not being a fabricator haha.

I'll take some pics tomorrow for sure. The diff support is rad!! Nerptech sells them.
