Ask and ask the person you bought the car from if they bought those wheels from a montego blue FD if so those wheels belonged to me about 8 years ago. I want to see if I can get the rear rim.

I will ask my friend if he is willing to sell them but as far as asking the PO where he got them from why? Not to be a dick but what does it matter if you want them, who cares where they came from!?

Because if those happened to be the wheels they had 3 or 4 cracks indicating why you would only have 3 wheels left because maybe one of the wheels was not fixable any more reason why I sold them in the first place. Anyway have fun building your FD.

All I can tell you is the 3 rims are good I never seen the 4th rim, the owner of the rims now said he will sell them PM me for the price if you like.

No big update just a couple of parts came in waiting on the turbo manifold, should be delivered next week.

Okay I got in my Gato manifold kit, this is not a completed manifold. It's a good base for clearance issue.

Lasse,

there are velocity stacks that will be welded to the plenum. I think their is a company that makes Titanium exhaust sleeves, like the shape of the velocity stacks. I will look and post the link for you & thanks for the comment .

Yes beer is one of my tools when I'm working on my car, but I don't drink when working on others cars.
