the rocker cover just looks corroded lol

all done, just needs some coolant, and a crank sensor, as its not producing the correct signal for the ecu to lock onto. happy days.
Looks suprisinely really good, (not meaning in a harsh way)
Definitely is going to stand out lol
I think you should carry on the wackiness out of the engine bay ;)
cheers mate, i dunno, im thinking sleeper on the outside. tomorrow, i should have my stealth backbox fitted...
oh and the bay needs a few bits touching up. its not properly done yet...
i love the stone effect paint, think you may be the first to use it as rocker cover paint lol
the bay looks fire damaged lol
but good progress for a days work
it looks far better in person, the camera doesnt flatter it. hoping to have her running today.
looks good mate, was in shower when u dropped hoist off ill have to pop down and have a ganders drop me a text, ive been workin stupid hours recently
So that AFM is it fully open or have you put some thin perspex etc under the cover? i would if you have not encase some ass hole stabbed something into it etc!
But apart from that, i quite like the funky ****ed up look! lol
there is a peice of plexiglass under the hole, our lass made it, im well happy with it. shes done most of the painting etc, i just do the spannering.
marky mark, your welcome any time bud. im in after 7 tonight.
