Rob_Mitchell Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Couple of pics from last nights session. I got the cover marked out and then cut out. Test fitted on my bay, going to look nice. Got all the plastics at work now, so i can start prepping them for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Looking very nice indeed. I am not looking for a show bay, just a bay that does not embarrass me when the bonnet is opened The perfect attitude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Got a tiny bit more done today. Just waiting for parts to arrive, i have painted the brake master cylinder. Hopefully have some goodies from SRD this week 1- Mishimoto black water hoses 2- SRD Billet lower water neck- ill have to polish it 3- smoothed top water neck 4- thermosleeve- desperate for this now 5-turbo intake hose- black 6- lower turbo hose to intercooler 7- top rad couplings- black Every time i step into the garage i see another job which need attention , never ending. I think once the gloss covers are on and the crank pulley back on, it will start to take shape and look like a nice bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
