Rob_Mitchell Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 changed my cam breather fittings from blue/red to AN-12 AN12 90 Degree FastFlow StealthBlack Hose Fitting i think it will look better as the theme is- chromed, black,polished and gold plated and the cam belt is the only colour as it looks awesome through the perspex.

Rob_Mitchell Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Got the alternator today so im going to start work on that and make it nice . mirror polished the back plate already and tthen mirror polish the housing tomorrow. some quick pics i took after the polishing going to send all the tiny screws and pulley centre nut to the chromers Edited May 17, 2011 by Rob_Mitchell (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Been a bit quiet this morning at work so i cracked on with the alternator housing and got that all finished . for some weird reason the back plate i mirror polished wouldnt gold plate so i just left it polished and still looks nice. Test fitted the pulley but going to get the centre nut gold plated, so ill just wait for that to be done. All the little touches make things worthwhile.

Rob_Mitchell Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Gold plated a allen bolt and washer last night to hold the chromed oil dipstick tube, so that part of the jigsaw is now complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 your work is definetly paying off. all the time you are putting into it is really showing. yeah started look different from the rest. I WOULD never do another like this, its so time consuming especially when you are polishing and plating each bolt & nut individually.

Funny how you notice more parts and pieces when looking at the pics of your engine lol, How much more you think you have left to do dude? If i can get it up with some of the best i will be a very happy man. well, off the top of my head 1) turbo, down pipe and midpipe, oils lines and gaskets 2) new exhaust system 3) ecu- standalone- what ever ryan g suggests 4) injectors 5) srd radiator 6) srd intercooler 7) electric fan kit?? 8) all gauges ect for inside 9) gearbox coolers x2 i know there is lots and lots to still buy and do, but thats the fun of it. Once i have done as much as i can and got the engine in, i have a trailer to get it to SRD for him to give it a once over and sort most of the wiring jobs and that out.
