Good project u got on the go there. I so wish i had the underneath of mine done red before i put it all back together. Mine is 99.9% finished now but sometimes u then want to pull it all apart again don't ya lol as u feel u can do bits better or wish u had done bits better in the first place.

Just out of interest, what colour combo are u going for in the engine bay? My rocker cover is a textured paint off red colour, i have red samcos and then my inlet manifold and charge carrier are powdercoated chrome/silver but im now looking at the overall engine bay and thinking theres too many different shades of red so wondering whether to do just a silver rocker cover now and maybe black samcos. Im a nightmare.
