Looks really nice mate, is it just the pic or the strut top covers Gold? If so change then to chrome and that will finish it off a treat.

Looks superb mate....well done

Thanks for all the commets people

I'll leave the wheel Gold as i really like the contrast but i will get the lips polished soon.

Gra it is Steves Old car

There were a few bits i missed off the thread when posting but I also

fitted L8 management to the car, changed the magnex for a mongoose (removed the centre box and welded a boss in for closed loop Lambda at a later date), Did the oil pump too + Obvioulsy all seals gaskets, rotor arm Phase sensor etc.

Going to order the strut tops and a front brace this week.
