Still around. Moving slowly but getting things done here and there. Working on the intercooler now -- I didn't realize how much cutting was involved to make things fit but I guess that's why they call it custom.

Picked up this guy from harbor freight:



Went to town cutting out that rusty spot that was underneath the battery tray









Plan is to eventually get a plate welded in there, but it'll do for now





I initially cut out what I thought was a good amount from the bumper support



it ended up needing A LOT more cut out to fit the intercooler



I initially cut out just the insides of this part of the "frame"





The end caps of the intercooler were still resting on the outside sections, so I chopped them off as well

















Everything is finally on there and lined up. I ended up drilling a new hole underneath the original one on the top mounting tab of the intercooler. Then I ended up slotting that hole to lower it a bit more as the headlights were right ontop of the cooler.

As of now, I need to do a little bit of trimming of the inside of my bumper to get it to line up. I also need to cut one of the brackets off of the metal bar that connects the front bumper to the bumper support. Also slightly modifying the wiper reservoir mounting spot to clear the intercooler piping.

Stay tuned!
