looking really good! love the colour scheme of the engine! are you going to paint the block black?

what happened to the "garage orniment"?

Dunc

I think you should paint the block the same as mine:grin:

Yep,block`s going black matey.......will probably stick with the blue hoses to complement all the quip and everything will be getting replated/reconditioned....

Fell out of love with the garage ornament :cry::cry:

Dunc

I went the black & grey route & it would suit the new rocker cover....

Diva built motor & detailed by me. Excuse the mong in the pic:cry:
