Think you've missed a bit on the radiator, Darren. Did you go for the ACT air box in the end?

Bit of a work in progress - made a lot easier since carrying out the hinged bonnet conversion.

Can't compete with some of the previous spotless examples! Have made some additions to mine recently!

Will get the bonnet off over winter and give the rest of the engine bay a good clean up smile

Mine so far, it's very much a work in progress and is currently covered in muck from the respray. Silicone hoses, body coloured cam cover and inner wings, some of Lees shiny bits, all in need of a polish but a great base to start from;

FFS, how do you lot get it so shiny? I use Autosol polish, and just don't seem to be able to get it all off?
Autosol is too abrasive, better to use 'ALU Belgom', It's cream rather than a paste so smoother finish and easy to get off.

One or two ceramic coated manifolds in these pictures. Looks good, but does it make much difference to engine bay temperatures?

IMHO massive reduction on a Speed Six especially from Cyl 6 , saves the bonnet paint from blistering . Unfortunately the performance colours do discolour.

Can’t argue with that kind of answer. I’ll add it to the list when the body comes off.
