Nice build! I'm loving the fab work on the front end. Keep it up!

I got my extra valve cover and Cams sensor coated black. Now I'm thinking I need to do the fuel rail, coil bracket and Intake manifold. What do people think. I also picked up a VW vaccume pump off of ebay to help hold the car at the line while stageing and I am plannin on makeing a 3.5" Hard intake pipe as soon as some couplers come in.

Looks good, now just get some black intercooler couplers and a black spark plug cover and it will be all kinds of stealthy!

I fabed up my 3.5 inch intake pipe with reserc pipe tonight. I still need to do some grinding on the inside where the 2 pipes meet and get it powdercoated but I think it turned out pretty good. I also pulled the fuel rail coil pack bracket and intake to get powfercoated to match the rest of the parts I already got coated.

I have a Century 110v flux-core MIG That I use for small projects and tacking. My dad has a Harbor freight 220 MIG That I use for bigger stuff. Both work really well for being cheaper machines.

Good to know. My dad was just asking about the HF flux core MIG, everything I read said it was a good unit.

Intake looks good! I've gotta learn to weld so I can try making cool stuff like that
