Coming along nicely.
If you're using a Sonic girdle, pay close attention to the dip stick, before you bolt the sump on.

Getting a bit hard to put this car back to original. Saw an EH the other day with a supercharged gen3. He told me he was going to get it engineered on Monday. I wished him good luck with that one. NSW.

What are you making the turbo manifold out of?

I just recieved a box of steam pipe bends the other day, just waiting on header flanges now!

Thanks for the tip! i hadn't even thought about that, but i did go to an external oil pickup because of the girdle! I am going to have to massage the sump a bit so i'll have plenty of time to work it out.

Cool, that's what mine is made from. Wish I could say I made it myself though.

So I finally got the bits I need to progress a few areas

So this little adaptor allows me to run an external oil pickup

And this fitting will be welded to the side of the sump with the pickup welded inside, for reference this is a chev pickup I found on ebay.

I also got around to cutting out the end of the surge tank base and made a mount for the lift pump, so the fuel system is in the boot at least is 100% complete now aside from wiring.

Also started making up some piping for the turbo manifold, I've decided on a location for the turbo and slowly starting to work through that puzzle, mind you its going to be a walk in the park compared to the room I had in the gemini!
