5 minute(s) of a 219 minute read

anyways, sorry haven't been on here for a while, its summer time and my girl doesn't work so we've been doing alot of vacationing on the beach. going to talk with mike tonight to see whats the plan and hopefully the ball will get rolling again.

basiclly been collect random parts. mike finally got around to making the vr6 billet dipstick and i was the very first to purchase one... just not sure if i got a discount or not...

6/23/2011

Dipsticks are CNC machined
Stainless steel wire rope 1 X 7 Strand 3/32" Diameter 1200# Break
Handle made of 6061t aluminum.
MAX / MIN reading made of 6061t aluminum
O-rings are High temperature resistant

for only $49.95 and a lifetime warranty, i figured i could splurg a little for this project....




So doug began fabricating the fuel system yesterday and here is where he got....

Since the rear floor is raised and with the AWD suspension and drivetrain taking up lots of space, they had to get a little creative and utilize as much free space as possible for the tank. This involved building a gas tank from scratch...

First they removed the tire well




And for those not familiar with what was back there...



Next up was stainless steel time...

With the available open drop section in the rear they boxed in an area to utilize even more gas tank space.






Here is the finished product...








Some detailed shots of doug's skills... i never get tired of looking at his welds!!!





They then had to notch out the edges...




The new floor and tank laying PERFECTLY in place....






A little more detail of whats to come....

The fuel system will consist of twin walbro 255 intank pumps with -8 fuel lines throughout. They will use an OEM R32 fuel pump assembly to utilize the factory fuel level sender so the oem gauge works properly. In order to make it work with an all stainless fuel tank they will machined custom fuel pump hats...



The lid will have all the all an bungs and fittings welded to it with functional oem connectors as well for power and sender...



So that's it for now, but should have more goodness soon enough....

happy birthday again homie....
