I got out of the trade about 6 years ago because the money is shocking. When I finished my apprenticeship I stayed on at tafe for a further 3 years and did a Diplomer in Mechanical Engineering while working as a mechanic. When I was in my 3rd year of that course I left the mechanical trade and began working as a Fitter doing mainly shut down work. Through that work I gained contacts and was offered a job at a local engineering firm as a Mechanical Designer.were we separated at birth or something?

Continued...Nutserts all inFoam seal for the lid just to finish it off and fill any gaps between the two pieces.Rubber seal for the intake, again just to finish it off and seal up the gaps. I was only able to get a small amount of the rubber seal. I was hoping to run some around the bottom of the sides as well. Will come back to this at a later stage after its tuned.Side and intake installed, this had to be installed as one.Lid on and stickered up. I'm pretty happy with the result. I still want to seal up the bottom a bit better so it is forced to draw more cold air from underneath the headlight. I will revisit this when I get some more of the rubber seal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had the tools/time to do my own fabricating, it really shows your skills!Thanks mate, I enjoyed your build thread. Love them GT335 wheels. I think I'll be getting a set of those in the future. Yeah fab work is easy if you have the right tools. I wish I had access to a CNC and a laser cutter. I have a work friend who's father owns a machine shop. He designs and makes all his own parts for his old porsche race car....eg complete billet control arms, wheel hubs, billet rear sub frame, intake manifolds...I wish I had access to that shop. Id be there all weekend making cool sh!t for my car.were we separated at birth or something? ProE user herethat's funny mate. I mainly use Inventor for all my 3d work but due to some clients, I also use solidworks & of course good old autocad.nice write up Jet so when the backyard cricket on............... :pandalol:I think around the christmas / new year period there will be a few games played.....I should show you all whats behind the back fence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was done about 6000kms / 1 year ago. I was expecting it to be a little more discolored after hearing other peoples experiences. It still looked pretty good so I'm happy about that but changed it anyway. Its going to be getting a workout next week. Last time I changed the diff oil it was midnight black / dark brown........Also dropped in a new drycell battery.
