far from it lol, but got the engine in now, put it in yesterday but had problems with the gearbox mounts? took it apart a few times and finally sorted it today, was giving me a right headache, wouldnt sit properly.

also been doing a few other things, drained the oil while it was out and changed the filter, broke the dizzy cap and rotor arm removing the engine so got new ones and new manifold gasket. cleaned up the rocker cover and other bracket.

still trying to sort a down pipe as im using a diffrent exhaust!

loom is ready but theres a bloke in the unit next door that reckons i wont have to change the whole loom and he is gunna take a look at it.

Wicked. I'm actually liking the black inner wings. It would look sweet with the rocker, maybe the cross-over pipe, strut tops caps and a few other bits all the same colour as the body. A nice OMP strut brace in orange would be wicked and some orange samco hoses would be the creme de la creme.

 

Sorry, getting carried away a bit. lol

Yeah I did think about a strut brace painted in the orange, I will probley do that, and maybe a few other things. I don't think the black looks too out of place because of other black bits on the car.

I'm hoping to get a big front mount intercooler on it too.

I did plan on having it up and running by the end of the month lol, but realistically will prob be the end of January!

its been a fair while since ive updated this, i "finished" it, got a MOT etc and had it as my wedding car in june, since then its sat in my garage and in bits again, got a big front mount intercooler for it, new orange samco boost hoses, loads of goodies etc etc, just need a few more bits then spend a weekend fitting it all.

I don't think it looks too bad mate.

 

I was thinking of maybe getting a few engine bay bits hydrodipped, water transfer, whatever you want to call it.

 

I think it could work on certain parts, but I'm not sure how it would hold up to heat.
