What colour is the engine and rocker cover?
Where did you get the little clips under the bolts to hold down the rocker cover from?

Hi Andrew, The engine is painted in Ford Competition Blue. I bought a can of VHT engine paint,sprayed it out on a card & then went thru the color chips at work until i found a color that matched. I then made the color up in 2 pac & painted it. The spreader plates on the cam cover came from Ebay.

Just a little update at this point.... I have bare metalled my Group 1 Air Box & my windscreen wipers & im preping them for paint. The air box had the centre brace removed from the lid at some point in the past so i had a new one made & spot welded on.

I have had my RS Seat belts done by Seatbelt Solutions and they turned our really great. Very easy to deal with.

It was $120 each for the fronts and a bit of postage to get them back to me.
Yes brand new plastic clip to keep that stupid buckle from going under the seat.
Cheers

Nearly Gareth...have a few bits to do but finding time is the hard part.
Have to sort out some engine bay wiring,fit the carbs,im waiting on my exhaust manifold & down pipe to come back from Jet Hot but i have some time off in September so i will try & get thru some of that.
Im due at hospital Monday morning at 11am with my lovely girlfriend Nikki to have our Bubs so that may throw a bit of a spanner in the works!
