Thanx Gooner, thats exactly what i want to do with the engine bay. She looks pretty fuckin sweet for an old bird. That must have took you ages, cos you did it all by hand. That's it i need to get off my arse and get stuck in. I'll get some pics up in the next few weeks when and if i get the job done !!! Thats if i ever sus out how to post the little f u c k e r s !!!
I just hope she looks half as good as yours.

Cheers del, quick tip mate dont bother taking inlet manifold off.Painted that part with halfords vht satin black paint. Might need two coats or you could thin it a bit.HD spray paint on the rocker cover though.Try cleaning your coolant hoses with Glynns vinyl care. Good luck mate.
