Managed to get some blue silicone hosing today for the BMC induction kit so just got that fitted now.
Just need to get a decent cold air feed now that i can run from my BMC to my front spot light in the front bumper.

All comments welcome.
Thanks.

The ecu covet was plastic to start with mate but after they started bubbling and peeling I sent the coil pack cover to him so he could re do it but the ecu cover was too bad too re do so he supplied me with an ecu cover Wich is now a chrome / stainless one matey.

Not updated for a while so thought i would post whats recently been done.

Yesterday had done:

A full service

Cam belt change

New front brake pads

Strut top bush replaced as one of my screws was snapped

Also had the CD changer bracket removed from the boot

And i bought some new silicone hosing in blue of course and re located my oil catch tank and fitted the hosing.
Just need to get a breather filter then i will run one of the hoses from the catch tank in a straight line just before the manifold with the breather on when i get one.

Also need to get myself a cold air feed for the BMC.

All comments welcome.

Cheers mate. Ye had alot of people on here say same about bonnett.
Would have to have it sprayed if I were to change it as it would be very hard to trace a bonnet same colour as mine as every colbolt blue I've seen as been different colour to mine, was told it's because mine was the last model they ever did in that specific colour code.
