[Tidy Max]

benn, what is the cover that you have over your heater blower thingy?

looks like you have filled it with mercury! v.nice engine bay though :) how do you get it so empty, i want to de clutter my 1.2 one, but theres just pipes everywhere lol

also, where your turret is how have you got it so smooth!?

[Benn]

Its a scuttle cover, make its look much more tidy.

Everythings plated ground then smoothed. Alot of welding, grinding, filling and sanding was involed.

Get rid of all the you dont really need, then work out where you can run wires and pipes to make them look more tidy. Does take a while...

[Tidy Max]

what can you get away with removing then? surely everything is essential lol

do you weld the plates on to the top side of your bay or the underside? does it not add alot more weight?

nice bay too nick!

[dj_wudgey]

some absolute stunning engine bays in here!! ben yours looks loads beter than before mate its a stunning car!!

Everything can go really, all the wires can be rerouted to be nicer and less seen. Washer bottle can be moved, coil, relays that clip to the bulkhead can be moved..

Cheers Dj.

Yes smoothing the engine bay adds weight..lol Theres alot of metal added.

Don't think I have any straight on bay pics. Although looking at those I reckon there's plenty of room to stick a small charger above the rear bank...
