    Got home from work and made a small fillet to smooth out the rear breather's this evening. Only took about 15mins, but makes a big difference.

    Yeah this is brilliant & exactly the attention to detail people wanna see; will you be welding it up yourself?

    I did similar to mine about 7 years ago, just without the blanking for dry sump.

    You might wanna raise those turret tops a bit in time too.

    Thanks. Maybe in time i will if i need to, but lets not forget that this is only a track car and was perfectly fine before when they were at standard height.

    ^ Any pictures of your rocker cover ^


    Did a bit more on mine today and deleted the front breather.



    All getting welded up tomorrow. I wont be doing it myself, a friend is doing it while i wait.

    Kinda looked like this for a while without the cover



    Beforehand it was milled, but imo looks pretty bland all one colour

    Oh that does look good. I really like that with no plug cover on.

    Got mine all welded up today, so just need to spend a few hours finishing it off now. definitely going to need a skim of filler though.

    I was going to ask if you were going to open up the gaps prior to welding; in a V shape (if you're looking at it from a cross section) to ensure strength once ground flush again.

    Could look alright not being colour coded; have you thought about doing something like a bright orange with a grey middle & orange lettering? The extent of effort shown here warrants paying for a professional spraying imo; then it'll last.

    Just read the update on MIG; I didn't expect you to be using filler. When I did mine I used some chemical metal & even that cracked; get it back down to metal, go high build, sand down & repeat as required imo.

    When you make the effort on such things THE GODS OF DETAIL WILL BE UPON YOU
