small update:

I'm not a fan of chrome but I could get the rocker cover for a bargain so I just had to get it. Looks better than I expected though
To do:
- brand new fuel pump (the one I bought before turns out to be leaking)
- cooling
- wiring
- dynamo mount
and when I get the car back I'll give the exhaust manifold some paint because this just looks rubbish next to the chrome rocker cover

not sure about the color yet but probably light gray or black
