Definately the new one! Brings the old girl up to date instead of just looking like a clean up rebuild

Phil, the car looks great,
I prefer the old cam cover, the new style one looks unfinished if you dont put the cam pulleys cover back on as the flange behind is visable and too bulky. the old cover and the machined arealeaving painted lettering adds a level of sophistication and attention to detail, whereas the flat lead cover and cosworth sticker look cheap and added on (not detailed)
Does the new cover allow the use of readily available turbo hangars?, Looking at it the bolt spacing is quite far apart thus the hangar may be awkward looking (if your using one)

Cheers JP

Thanks for the votes guys[:p]

Unfortunately both covers have come up very nicely[x2x]

Hi Justin,

If I use the new style cover it will have a carbon belt cover and coil cover like this one Im using a short custom exhaust manifold so I should get away without the turbo damper

Phil, If you are going with the carbon pully and coil covers then the new cover should go on.

Cheers guys[:p]

The late cover has been chosen after much deliberation

Here's a shot of the hoodlining,its trimmed in Dove Grey Macrosuede by Warwick.It needs a brush to get the grain to lay in the same direction.

Hi Guys,

The latest bits I have finished include upgrading to 1/2" fuel lines, oil cooler is in, gearbox is in with the hydralic system now bled up. The need for an engine is now moving up the list of priorities[:p]

looking killer there buddy!

Hey Phil....... out of curiosity, how much travel do you have in the rear before you hit the bump stops or you diff/ axle tubes hit you chassis rails?

Cheers
Jordan

Hi Jordan,

Its got about 3" of travel,the rear coilovers are set up with bump stops to stop the chassis rail contact
