Right thought I would put all my progress reports and piccy's all in the same post :D

Basically take one car that looks like this:

CSC manifold trial fitting...

Not enough clearance on the sump spacer needed :bang:




Next stage cleaning and spraying engine..

For now the whole thing in black

Toying with the idea of painting red...

- Coil Pack plate
- Alternator pulley
- Water pipe
- Maybe sump :confused:

Just sprayed Rocker cover to see what it would look like btw will be a chrome one with chromed Map sensor plate and ECU cover with all red hoses....

Next step go get a Spacer machined up and order all my gaskets :D
 
Hi
I`ve seen that car in the flesh it`s well sweet,but how tacky has chubbs made it look covering it in stickers and fitting the smaller wheels?(n)
Please get the hair dryer out and remove all the stickers(he`s even put them on the headlights:D )
Nice purchase Jamie i know you`ll make it go as good as it looks,(unless another italian car you haven`t already got comes up for sale near you:D )
Good luck
Cheers
Adrian

You not seen the headlights.lol

Sorry but will remove every sticker that is on there but will have a FF on each rear window and a Wiltshirecruise one and that's it :D
 
the headlight ones are in gay font so they dont count :p

can i not interest you in a big red one :eek:

back to your original question though :D , paint everything in your list red apart from the big round things (excellent technical knowledge:eek:) , wont they run the risk of making the belt slip if they shiney and coated

*Quick Update*

Spacer for manifold is being hand crafted (I sh!t you not ;) ) as we speak :D

Costing me a fair amount bet hey ho what doesn't

Will get pics when I have it in my grubby mits :D
