Poppy's Plenum.

Hi Peeps...Well while she is off being fiddled with i thought i would detail the plenum to match the rocker covers...There is still a tiny amount of snagging to do but i need to wait for the paint to cure first or it will just be an on-going thing..Had some gasket paper so made a new idle vale gasket, I didn't wind it out....Came out ok though....I know its just paint & Polish but i like it looking nice...Cheers...Ziga

Hi Neil...Good to see you on form..I mean forum..

Well i was going to just clean up the throttle bracket or spray it black but i ran out of black...The idle control valve screws were as grubby as shyte and the plenum needs to go back Monday to be fitted..My intention was to go to a place in Dartford that sell every screw and bolt known to man or beast but I'm without a car and couldn't get a hire car due to the nice weather that is going to be here the weekend...So..The blood of jesus was used instead...Ziga

I do when the Wedge aint here mate...Either that or i'll end up with no fingernails and eventually no fingers...

Funny you should say that because I find that the car drives a lot better when it's all polished up. With the amount of work Zig puts into his cars, polished both inside and out, I suppose it must glide along the road

Ditto. Looks great. Fancy an alternative full time job as Wedge detailler?
