holy mother of god... it looks like if 'steampunk' did a 2jz :D

 

awesome mate!

 

:D thats a huge compliment then as i love the steampunk stuff :cool:

 

this has to be one of the cleanest engines I have ever seen before in my life. Although the gold is not really to my taste it is looking great,

 

Thanks bud, its marmite but so is having a orange car :D

Well as promised by paul my pulley set arrived today and all i can say is WOW :D.

 

They look really nice and i had 'GOLD RUSH' engraved around the edge of each pulley which really sets them apart from any other.

 

I tried to take decent pics of the engraving but they are far to shiney :cool: but even the font is done in crazy writing... awesome

Only just properly read this thread and wow, didn't realise how much you were putting into this car. Personally I'm not into 'blingy' engine bays, but I do respect the work you have put into it.

 

Now stop polishing and get installing :D

 

cheers mate, polishing and chroming is the easy bit, im missing all sorts of sensors and need to plumb things in which is a headache. im sure ill get there in the end.

Have I missed it, or are you going to change the fittings to gold-plated or silver? The red really stands out, and not in a good way IMO.

Otherwise, this is looking fantastic!

 

nope leaving them as they are, they go with the greddy bagde and gates belt so i think it works plus there will be a few more yet.
