Yep, that's significant progress, are you going to have enough time to get it rolling, or just another step in that direction?

It should be finished within 2 weeks. I know for a fact I won't be able to run for tx2k but it will be drivable. Finally.

Is it just me or are those welds pretty bad looking? Cool project though for sure interested in the results.

IMHO, the welds look pretty normal for aluminum. Probably used a pretty fat filler rod to fill some gaps between the pipes. I'd definitely expect tighter welds if they were using stainless tubing.

At the rate my friend is going to finishing, I think this should be up and running by the end of this week or next.

Well the car is up and running. Ordered few minor things like sensors and all that, but break in phase now begins this week. Stocked as ****.
