Joey the VNT boosted 205!

A small update, altho albeit a fairly important update with respect to the fact the gearbox shouldnt need to come off now!

As i said yesterday had a disaster with the gearbox casting where the starter bolts on, was determined to avoid dropping the box again after all the hard work, so decided i would see if i could weld it in situ, no problem you would think, except the fact I killed my MIG a few weeks back and am yet to find a decent replacement..and theres no way im welding ally with the stick welder.

Spoke to tom, and he said he could get his hands on a small mig, so said drop it over, see what I can do.

Anyway welder wasnt much use as it was, as didnt have euro torch connection, or gas solenoid, or anything really, however it did have a working wire feed controller, so stripped the welders down (Sorry Tom im sure you wont mind, it will be back together tomorrow) , ran 4 control wires and jump leaded the high side between welders, battery charger on the gas solenoid operated by chris, and before you know it, you have a working Mig ally spool gun setup!





Alot of effort, however it pulled off, casting is now welded back on, starter bolted back up, and engine motors over. So averted having to drop the box again, so back on track to mount last boost hose and tune it up and give it back!
