OH MY :eek::eek::eek:

Totally stunning :eek:
a thread thats over a year old and only 6 pages long ??
Superb work :thumb:
Well worth the wait to see how it is now! Looks stunning!
That engine and bay reminds me of decs sport, just as good.
Excellent steve, you've just given me the kick up the **** I need to get some more work done
Awesome stuff there Steve!
Wow, just wow.
I don't think I can say stunning enough times Steve, that really is exceptional.
awsome job steve keep-up the good progress...
as usual top work! Can I ask are you protecting the arches and wheel wells with anything other than paint (underbody sealer etc)?
The underbody and wheel wells got 1 coat of rustproofing colour, 1 of primer, 2 of high resistent marine paint, again 1 coat of primer and 1 coat of colour
Completely nuts!!!!!!! I hope this will resist :roll::roll:
is the fuel line running inside the shell, is it hard to come across them fuel pump brackets, looking well by the way, top work
No, they're running outside the shell
Looks awesome duick, keep it up! :)
What wheels are going on it?
Absolutely beautiful!
Wheels will be the Irmscher ones
Thats look stunning, you've done an amazing job. Well done.
Just had a look through this. Some serios rebuild went on to rid of the tin worm. Loving the freshenss of it aswell, new paint, parts, etc. Looks almost factory fresh!! Top work.
thats seriously nice. my engine will hopefully look exactly like that! i dont suppose you have instructions or a guide to the injection system???
Nick

Good move, my high temp paint is holding up nicely on the head and cam housing. I also had my manifold coated and it is ace :thumb:Quote:
