Project Cosmo update : XXXVIII- IT RUNS!!!

Well after much delay its running and driving!

Dirty and missing a hood shes almost road ready.......

.

Needs more bling


.
Notice the nice vice grips on the water neck, broke a bolt and didn't feel like fixing it right then.


.
As you can see there is still plenty of work left....


Still alot to do, I need to get the interior back together, finish some gages and such. Alot of little things, it runs and drives which is the best part. Friday I'll be adding a 2nd muffler to tone it down a bit. everything major is done. And I still got a few months to enjoy it before I put it away for winter......

If you look a bit closer you'll realise the turbo's not connected.

Thanks for the comments. couple more pix.....

finished the intercooler piping, changed the driver side to a strait piece.
Still need to fix the water neck, and make my heat shield for the turbo, clean up a few wires.


.
Nice moving the alternator to the side, really cleans it up


.
So many more little things.... never ends.....

total awesomeness

though since XXXXIVII isn't a proper roman numeral, I gave you a good one (XXXVIII = 38)

I figured you were probably going for the idea of a really big roman numeral... but beyond there they get kinda... wonky looking (with C and M and L being thrown in there)

But as for the car, kickass man, that rocks.
