Haven't had much time recently but I got some stainless steel covers for the fuse box and the brake reservoir so put them on.
I ordered a breather from Motorsport Developments and fitted that tonight, the old one wasn't working very well and seemed a bit blocked.

I've had the car parked up for winter so thought I would try and get the engine bay looking a bit nicer, first step paint the inlet manifold. Took a while to get it off and split it but got there eventually, just need to buy some paint and paint it.
Once I've got that done I'm going to paint the rocker cover, not sure whether to stay with black or change to silver or another colour? Here's all the pictures

Started cleaning up the inlet manifold ready for painting, going to buy the paint tomorrow hopefully.
Cleaned the fuel rail for painting
Took the rocker cover off aswell, going back out to start sanding it down

Went back out to try and sand down the rocker cover, sandpaper did nothing, wire brush did nothing, wire brush attachment on a drill did nothing but I eventually managed to get most of it off using a chisel... Need to finish it tomorrow then hopefully get everything painted.

Bought the paint today and got busy painting everything, here's a load of pictures
I forgot to take a picture of the finished top half of the inlet manifold but I'll get it on Monday.

Started to put everything back together this week, got the manifold on and almost finished replacing all the vacuum hoses.
Thanks to Matt Lewis for getting the gaskets and vacuum hose to me really fast

Almost finished now! Still have a couple things left to do and got to paint a bracket but should have it finished in the next couple of days.
