So remember these from previous posts........?

These parts have been used to help create the cars new look in the bay etc... Wiper motor plate wasnt as straight forward as it seems as there is no earthing point that the original nova item uses on the bottom right hand corner of the plate and it wont work without it obviously! But a simple wire with a few connectors attached to various threads on the back of the plate so they cant be seen etc sorted that. All mounted up.....

The cambelt cover above was used as for a dummy run to see if I could get the holes cut correctly and in the right position. I also didnt want huge holes to show the verniers like some have, At billing last year I saw big chaps motor and got some advice from him on hole size/postion (cheers fella!) And after all the above this is what we have.....

The new cover shows the Qed verniers well without the holes being huge. I would have liked to have them gloss black but obviously if I remove them the cars going to have to be setup/rolling roaded again so Im told and I dont have time for that so they'll have to do for now! As seen on the last pic above I also decided to remove the Sbd sticker from the plug cover again just for a more simple look. Unfortunatly this left behind a shallow recess in the cover!

So at work today Ive rubbed it down to remove that recess...

This will be relacqeured and refitted shortly etc. Lastly I spent yesterday evening cleaning everything as It was blathered due to a few trips out in wet weather within the past week or so. All arches cleaned and waxed up...

Everything I could get my hands on.... front panel,crossmember,arches,sills,underneath to some extent all got a wipe over to get the dirt off them. Fuel pump top/top mounts got a shine up too!
