Another TM member in South Yorkshire, welcome buddy. Looks a nice build you are doing there.
Once you've got it in and working there is more power to be had from an intercooler too.

I know it looks a bit dodgy, but I needed to keep lifting the car up and down for wheeling the engine and supframe in and out, and for the welding, thanks for your concern, dont worry Im not getting under the car..

Simon I may join the turbo mk1 club yet. Won't be until next winter though! *happy*

I'd like to see some more pics of the rest of the car, looks very tidy for a mk1. Did the shell need much work?
