when you say stripping the engine bay out, what do you intend to do ?

I cant blame you, you have almost completely re-vamped this car...

Its got to be verging on the best ERST S2 ever, and do you reckon it will EVER be finished ?

Basically i want to do to the front what i have done to the back(powder coat suspension etc ),and just give it a detailed going over in the engine bay,with a few subtle mods under there, as to it ever being finished,hopefully this will be it ,but as we all know with cars .Just doing it as i want the car to last ,and to me its a hobby as i love working on cars
