You're both bastards and I hate you for your slating of my engine bay in ur posts. There's nowt wrong with the header ...... Nope, I cant even joke about it

As soon as I find a clean one, I'm gunna buy it and fit it. Also gotta lose the blue strut tops and heater blower box, and the blue covering on the fuel hoses Basically all the blue other than the rocker cover and hoses, should look ok then. The inside was all blue bits too, was concentrating on the inside first, taken me a month to source the parts to get rid of it all.

I would like to take this opportunity(sp) to clear my name. I did not go mad with the blue spray.

nice bay there ZETEC-TURBO alot of time and effort gone into worth while mods. Need a different oil cap though but hey it looks like its more for function then to show boat and i think thats the way to go great stuff.

Should get it back next weekend but it won't be road legal till I put the washer bottle back in with the pipes and then take it for an mot and tax it.

Still a few things to do after that till it's done.

I will pop round when it's done
