Very nice! Reminds me of the last build I did.....had a couple of friends help me. We ran out of Vaseline, so we all hopped in the car to to the store to get more. When we got there we decided it would look pretty funny for all 3 of us to go in to the store and buy a large tub of Vaseline, so we drew straws!

lol.. we just put the turbo on just to get some pics.. We actually have to put the turbo/manifold on last(once the engine is in the car) because of the car being RHD.. if you look closely at the manifold you will see that we had to cut a "notch" into the wastegate pipe for the steering rack to get by it.

Canon 5D and a 100mm lens. Sucks, all I have right now is the 100mm because my 2 other lenses wont work with the full sensor of the 5D.
