Bit of progress on the Raider
Have managed to get the power steering all complete with all hoses fitted, so much easier when its all off a car designed to fit the whole your fitting it in :ag:
Just need to connect the steering column to the rack
I have had a issue with the MSM intercooler set up, as I am running a variant of the F-series engine and its been designed for the C1J the more I fitted to the engine the more apparent it become it just wasn't going to work without modification. So instead of cutting it up I have removed the MSM set-up and kept it to the side for another project
I have now got this in its place
Its an old style set up but it come up cheap and I know it can work well, this way I still get to keep it looking original from the outside which was my goal all along but still cool the inlet charge nicely
To keep it looking more like it should be there the original air duct has gone back in too
The head is off the car being faced, tested and cleaned before being assembled with the new cam and stronger valve springs (all Renault factory parts

)
I will be sending my '72 Beetle off for welding soon, once it goes this will come out the garage so I can fit the new short shift gear lever, braided brake lines, new steering rack gaitors (other ones were wrong) and few other bits too
Its getting there
