I vote the for the classic original cover, I think the newer item looks too much like an XE Vauxhall cover, just my 2 cents worth. Looking forward to the completion of this build

I have to say,i have allways thought the exact same thing as HYPO4D,the newer covers do look very much like a XE Vauxhaul or as we put it here,Holden rocker cover.
Good call HYPO4D

If all goes well I should have both covers painted very soon,hopefully for the SFCC concourse day next Sunday so I should have some pics of them both to further help the decision making process  I should also have the hoodlining and glass in by then to which means I can finally wash and polish it after all this time  I was looking through some old pics today and found this one...this was taken around 1999...a blast from the past[:p]

....like the rest of the car....go for a new spin mate.
The new look Cossie is clean, neat and confusing! Looks like a Duratec to the untrained eye....or even dare I say a Nissan product....keep em guessing and keep the project evolving.
......or you could just put a GT spec 1500 Kent back in[88]

Old, but if you want it to feature in a magazine again, you should go new.
Cage looks great by the way Phil.

They both look quite good actually in the body colour. I do prefer the original style in red but I am a little biased! But I think you need to do something with those cam gears Phil!

Thanks Guys[:p]
Its disappointing that they arent interchangable as I like them both. Im still leaning towards the late cover as it will bring part of a fresh identity for the car. The cam gears will end up being anodised silver. Im waiting on a reply from Martin Reyland on a set of his pulleys and a carbon fibre coilpack cover and belt cover from Mike Rainbird.
If I do go with the late head does anyone have another late head they want to swap for an excellent Escort Cosworth 4x4 Big Turbo head[%]

The new item looks better now it has been painted, does it have a cam wheel cover for it ? They both look great but i'm sticking with my original vote OLD. This car is definitely worthy of another magazine shoot ! Aaron
