That is a really nice colour..Are you going to bling the engine to match all the other hard work you have put in...polished plenum and some either red or purple silicone hoses..Or keep it clean and original...Its looking a stunning wedge...ziga

Looking good .. what colour is it.

Looked at a BMW M3 in the local showroom the other week that was a limited edition colour .. looks similar.

Nice one Rob - what would be in my fantasy garage (apart from a car of course):

- 4-post lift (well I aint as young as I used to be...) complete with bungee straps to keep my arms up ;^)

- tune-up diagnostic equipment, exhaust removal pipe and a small rolling road...

- 10 1/2" spanners (I only have 5....)

- room for the MIG welder, a compressor, etc.

- floor-level lighting, heating, a coffee urn...

I like the sound of the floor-level lighting, heating and coffee machine... biggrin

I salvaged the back boiler from the house whan we had a new fireplace put in a couple of years ago, the plan is to build a hearth in the workshop that will heat the back boiler to feed blown-air radiators and double as a blacksmith's forge hehe Just need to find a brickie who hasn't appeared on Cowboy Builders...

Tried a propane blown-air heater a few years back but it made all my tools rusty irked.

Thought you would use the Roman method of naked hand maidens throwing hot coal under the concrete floor...
