New wheels for my 3dr
#85
I've also been collecting bits to change my car more to how I want it under the bonnet, I won't be going for big power so decided to change it back to a more standard look, it's not finished yet, I want rid of the black Samcos but I'm unsure what I want to replace them with yet, considering putting a standard intercooler on too or at least painting the one that's on it black so it doesn't stand out so much.
How it was...
It was all a bit too dark for my liking and also had the wrong rocker cover on so managed to track down a proper 3dr rocker cover, and some good standard tanks, also I didn't like the red plug leads or the bailey breather system so got some black leads, managed to source the parts to put the breather system back to standard for now, standard turbo Damper etc...
Also put my Motorcraft stickers on the battery...
Rocker cover when I got it... (Birthday pressie from the wife)
Powdercoated...
And finished...
So all in all It's getting there but it's kind of a work in progress at the moment...
Also managed to pick up some headlamp protectors, they need a bit of polishing but I think they'll come up good with some work...

Really happy with the comments about the engine bay, wasn't sure if people would prefer the alloy tanks etc.
I agree about the boost hoses, they will be sold in the near future, only problem is it's on a t34 turbo so a standard turbo to air box hose won't fit I don't think so gonna have to think of what to do.
