Dont sell it man!! you'll really regret it!! what you need to do is start her up....and if your not inspired again... then maybe then sell it.. but you're so close... and this truly is your car.. You built it!! ......just give it some thought..

Maybe you have personal reasons for the stop which we dont know, but i would also say just finish this project.
But i can feel with you, im just parting out my audi-supercharger project because i lost the interest working on it. Mainreason is because i have the FD at my garage which is a much better start to tune with :-)

Good luck, vest.

I have too much to do at work, so I can`t find the time to work on the car.

This thing is taking forever to finish..

But I`ve made new brakets for the oil coolers..

I will try to have the car up and running next spring..

I also invested in a new trailer so I can move the car without having to borrow a trailer..

This is an amazing build... I Am very happy you decided to finish it up and get her running for next year...

You have put countless hours of time, and who knows how many thousands of dollars into this...

the end result will be nothing short of amazing...

Looking forward to the to the first start up/drive

hell yeah!

i haven't driven my 7 all year, I know how being to busy to work on it and stuff goes, only thing that keeps me interested is sitting in the drivers seat every few months and thinking how fuggin cool it was to drive it in the past! and how I wanna drive it again next summer

take the extra time to get the excellent craftsmanship you set out for.

I hope to get the tubes for the new manifold on monday.

Will be a very simpel design, only thin is the turbo will be very close to the inlet runners..

So have to make a heat shield in a metal that dont conduct heat very good..

Today I did some work on the Carbon dash, I regret that I didn`t spesified that I wanted it in one piece..
It`s not possible to get it together as it should be.

So it looks like I just have to find the filler and use that in the gaps, and flock the hole dash..

I have used one layer of fiberglass on the back of the dash to make it stronger..
