Mine used to look like this:
But the engine is sold and the new one not even half finished, so the enginebay will remain empty for a little longer

Too bad, when should the new engine be ready? specs?

makes sense karl..
could you not fabricate something to attach to a strut brace and take some of the weight?

I get the distinct feeling my turbo hanger is not to everyone's liking!! 
Its the strut brace that makes changing plugs a pain not the damper, as the coil pack sits over number 3 plug so has to come off to get access.

I'll take it if your going to bin it
Would post a few pics of some of my old ones but you've seen most of them in the flesh and i guess once you've seen numerous red or blue engine bays you've seen them all

LOL @ spadge very true mate I've seen just about every variation going!
That said at least this post is better than reading the usual load of dross on this site such as "My pet hampser is going for castration tomorrow, will it hurt him much as I love him very much?"

)New engine wil take a little longer, because i'm a little low on funds and still need some parts
Spec will be revealed when i make up my mind about the last parts (turbo), but all should be good for 550+bhp (fingers crossed)
