The wait is over...

[mrzigazaga]

Hi Peeps...Well its been a week without my beloved and i pick her up tomorrow..Amongst some needed work i bit the bullet and had the wheels refurbed and colour coded to match the car..My detailed rocker covers and plenum have been fitted with new shiny fixings so all in all i can't wait to see her..Hopefully the next bit of dry weather i can fit my shiny expansion tank and new chrome door handles...Then its new hood...Parcel shelf carpet and mats and a paint refresh and that should be it for another year...Ooo I'm all excited...Ziga

[PHJayV8]

Look forward to seeing it

Yeh I guessed that so are you not wanting to bother changing them now? Seems a lot of faffing about to take some off to fit some replacements to take em off again to fit some others again, just my opinion you understand.

Hi Peeps...Picked up Poppy this morning and must say that the refurbed rack makes a hell of a difference..The wheels look good but i think i should of gone with the gold!...Plenum and rockers look cool...Stainless exhaust has given a different, deeper note but i think its a bit quieter so a trip to pipe craft will be in order at some point...Cheers...Ziga

Thanks...Yeah I'm pleased with how they came out, Just need to let the paint cure for a bit as there is some tiny bits that need touching in..
The Alternator lets it down a bit but I'm not in a hurry to remove it to just to clean it.
Need to make some extension brackets for the expansion tank also as the new one sits a little further forward..Some meccano type will suffice....Cheers...Ziga

Looking good zig

Very tidy Mark. I would of went with the Allen Bolts on the manifolds, little easier to get at should you need to in the future.

+1. Those wheels are brilliant

[Ernie321]

Looks very nice

[ElvisWedgely]

Mark, that engine looks brilliant mate. You may need to have a visual display window installed in the bonnet rather like the Ferrari Modena 360 to show the jewelery

Mark, looks superb. You must be well pleased. Quick question but does your heater have any intakes in the engine bay? If so then can you post a photo? Thanks.

Hi Mate...There is a feed which you can see going into the bulkhead near the washer bottle..This goes to the heater matrix...I will take a pic tomorrow if its not raining...Cheers...Ziga
