they look much better now mate. The hard work that has gone into that can easily be seen - top finish. Bet your itching to get the engine in now  . No more driving around with a 50bhp engine - haha. The jump up is going to be soooo big.
Gutted i still have a 50bhp engine in mine  .

Thursday 20th December
Well its been a few weeks again since the last update ad to be honest not alots happened.
Been so busy with sorting custom door badges, rocker badges, buying xmas presents etc that theres been little change.
Im still fannying about with the cam covers, the 2nd one i still havnt finished although im getting there slowly, and the 1st one i still have some bits to finish off.
Picking up new alternator tomorrow though and aiming to have all the bolts torqued up etc, which means that by the end of next week the engine itself should be complete.
Just a few parts needed then before being able to fit it and after new year hopefully have this work unit/garage ready so that i can stick the car in and get to work on it.
Also after 5 weeks wait this finally arrived- a little addition to the Pro comp

excellant matt, loving that yellow piping, will definitely look spot on in your bay when it's finished.
We'll have to wear rubber gloves when we put the engine in so that we don't make it dirty lol

The bit on the hose could be plugged up if its not in use.

Cool Cool matey
The hose looks a decent colour match, still planning on doing the engine bay the same colour as before?

Yup sticking with that colour Much easier to maintain i think as my main reason, the yellow wouldnt make sense cost wise of the paint also

Nice and yellow.
I took the metal ring out of the breather pipe entrance, and then shoved a cork up it!
