Chuck the 2WD inlet plenum and get a 4x4 one, very cheap but great difference. Then spray them seperately before putting them back together with stainless allen key bolts. Will look better and less of a ball ache for you to realise and have to remove it from the head whilst on the car.

But the plenum cover would make a huge difference to your engine build, won't cost you much and will make a better fun road car. Mine was only 40 quid 
Seeing as you've really gone pretty much all out with repainting the whole shell and building it from the ground up, would be a shame not to

they are fab mate, i live in caerphilly, Simon one of the partners is a friend, excellent service and a top job, it has yet to be flatted and polished yet, what you see is straight from the paint gun.

Beautiful finish just from the gun
I like it when suspension and engine cradle components look nice, clean and rust free. Gotta buy shares in WD40 to keep it that way
