    got a bit more progress today.... as said yesterday got the gearbox bolted on Then i set about fitting my top fill rad and slim line fan.... Wanted it something like this so drilled 2 holes in the bottom of the plastic, for the locating lugs to go in and a cable tie and she's in there solid... not happyy about using the cable tie of a show car so will look into it further to correct it. But to fit the slim line fan.... a bit of cornish brutality i drilled 2 holes through the fins of the rad and bolted the fan to the actuall rad itself... fits beautifully. here it is all built up tidied

    so, got cracking on painting and rebuild the engine today so i can finally drop it back in where it belongs and get a feel for the "overall" picture! so, firstly, this is what i done the other day, painted the master cylinder and fitted my copper brake pipes to my T pieces, these will be located behind my steering gaiter. Also fitted the custom braided clutch line and feed pipe. so during the build, i decided to paint the head black as well..... just think it will look 10x better rather than having black silver and cream. so here is its first coat along with the tensioner and rear engine moun

    well then alots happened since last time..... here we go: straight out copy n pasting went up bodyshop today and started the dreaded rub down of the orange!!!! i'm still in 2 minds as to what color to paint the engine bay.... half saying cream half saying match the shell.... the reason i'm going for the same color as the shall and not cream is because, i have started to paint things already in the engine. and they look good and if i spray the engine bay cream... it wont match the color of the engine parts/gearbox etc..... so, i'm really thinking spray the bay the same color as the car.... and
