Holy fuck that driveshaft looks like a telephone pole.... is that actually going to fit?

I'm gonna see if it fits tonight, if not I have a hammer.

Bought a full set of dimple dies and tried them out on my radiator cover.
Came out pretty nice for my first try.

Your welds are looking great man! Mad props for all your hard work!!

Thanks, just got a new job welding/fabricating.

It's time to get rid of all the yellow and get a bunch of stuff powder coated and ceramic coated. My brother does all the powder coating, can't wait to see it all done and the brakes to match.

Dei sleeves for the yellow plug wires



Welded on some more bungs for extra breather hoses because I like to think I'm wealthy haha


Still need to pull off the crossover and screamer.

The last few days got a lot of tig welding done.
My friend and I are building a Volvo T5 w/ hy35 swapped e36.
We made a new oil pick up tube from scratch and shortened a t6 oil pan and redid the front section to clear his rack/subframe. Came out awesome. Then I got all the welding done on my down pipe, it's such a good feeling to make something from nothing and progress with quality as time goes.

Tacked up the downpipe, just need to weld it up tomorrow and start the oval.

[Dirk HX35]

Thanks.
Finally made an idler pulley for up top that bolts over the water pump.
Alternator bracket is adjustable and ended up using a ford 5.0 belt.
Also ordered my driveshaft soooooo this turd is almost ready to melt some tires.


Also the 2 step works....can't wait to turn it waaaaay up

Finished up coolant piping today. Diff showed up from reshimming too.
Now I need to seal up the diff and put that in so I can order a driveshaft.
This thing if finally getting towards the end.

[Dirk HX35]

Thanks guys.

Bad picture, but cut the bottom half of the radiator support off and replaced with tubing so I could fit my fan easier. Also welded up brackets and bungs to radiator so I can mount it and make coolant piping tomorrow. Even had to shorten the lower inlet since there's barely any real estate left in the engine bay.





Down pipe all tacked up, ignore the last piece with big ass gap.
