I'm a fan of Dave's work I've got his vin tags too. I bet you can't wait for Friday to come. What intercooler did you end up going for?

That looks really tidy, just out of interest with all the inlet mods and crossover pipe is there any reason you didn't just go for a custom manifold?

If I'm honest with you Mat it's the only thing you've done on the car I don't like. For me I needs to be crackle black. The rest of the car is epic, it just doesn't look right to me.
when is it going for first start and run up?

Mat, personally I think it looked at its best prior to any coatings on the charge pipe.

Kin hell you're right mate, that looks shit. Get it wrapped in that titanium heat wrap. It'll look more "Motorsport " and it'll smooth out the welds.

Think you should paint the rocker cover red and skim the engraving back to silver and leave the charge carrier set up in silver.
Its the rocker cover colour thats the problem.

rocker cover and all tanks etc are off and for a colour scheme once it's all running ..rocker cover colour to be confirmed as I'm unsure what to go for yet.
