That is quite a project! Looking good so far
Make sure you don't run out of argon like I did, I was doing a small aluminium welding job and thought I'd finally got it as one side looked great, then the other side was an utter disaster! I assumed it was me, but it turned out my regulator had sprung a leak and had wasted the rest of my argon supply

Re: Plenums/Plenii
Turns out it’s not gas but the sexy CK torch and hose, after months of trying to work out what was wrong I put my old, heavy, torch and hose back in and I’m welding like a pro (well pro-ish). Next is mounts for the fuel rail and an extension for the throttle as there just isn’t enough room where I’d like it:
Yes I've been drinking, what of it!!

Right then so that’s a plenum built. Car starts but I might have an air leak as it revs straight away, could be fuelling, will have to check the logs. Also below is the socket I had to make as there isn’t quite enough room to get a normal socket or spanner on, but it all fits so much better than then old one and the inlet route is spot on, I think I achieved almost all of my goals. On the whole pleased but I won’t be taking orders (not that I think there’s a market for my unique style of welding).
