that looks terrible.
You think? i thought its really well done, things like the gold head bolts is a very nice touch

wow thats a pretty sight what more can i say stunning it is:)
alot of attention to detail with,as bigs said the gold,but i think the exhaust mani lets it down.
also you wouldnt want to use it from getting dirty

Its a clean example but there are too many colours in there for my liking and the wiring looks messy.
If it was just black, silver and red, with tidy wiring it would look spot on :thumb:.

how gay is that strut brace lol
It would look good without the gold bits imo
As above less colours and would be more to my tastes but it looks like there has been a lot of attention gone into it, tis a cav if im not mistaken too:thumb:

Meh, its a cav in drag then but its still a cav under all the gheyness lol
Chavtastic IMO.
I guess he's trying to make up for the fact its missing two cylinders and three camshafts lol

yup far too over the top. it doesnt really prove anything. its not saying 'race engine' and its not tidy. too much colour.
im more a fan of std-clean and subtle. no shiny header tanks and polished rocker covers for me thanks.:thumb:

more gold than Mr T!
looks gay lose all the gold bits, add a few blue hoses as the red 1s are really in ur face, a heat wrapped four branch, n then maybe chill out with it all in genral, and it would look rather nice.

Decent looking 8v there, like the white rocker with red lettering looks more like a race engine. Not too keen on the red samco's tho black would have looked tidier. Nice gold bolts too.
Not a fan. It's way too busy in the bay.
that looks terrible.
Agree!lol the gold looks gash for a start.

Think the gold bolts are ok as a detail but the gold thermostat is gash. The gold should only be minor detailing but its used too often.

i think it looks well me!!
Turbo gash. The Nova is the perfect example of an unco-ordinated retard let loose with the paint and Motorworld vouchers IMO
My mates old car had a nice bay, could have been much better, but subtlety is the key. Nothing worse than buying that brightly coloured conduit and drawing attention to servo vac. hoses and horn wiring etc lol

Hmmmmm, Jap Structure. Bendy!!
Way to much, the colours dont work together, the reds to garshish too.

I feel the same about brightly colour samco and such hoses.
Black ones look much better.
Where? :p
lol Chavalier? Either way it has a Nova engine :p
