Looks good. Done anything more?

its all wired up, i redesigned the manifold for the throttle bodies so they connect in a better way than silicone pipes, they basically locate in a recess and seal via o rings .attached the carbon inlet and routed the rest of the lines.and painted bits n pieces

am really happy with the motor, just gotta get it out and do the diff and cams and clutch and so on and then finish the body work

am toying with painting it myself

It would be the icing on the cake in my eyes. A car that you've really truely built all yourself.

Doesn't matter if it doesn't come out of the gun great, a great detailer would be able to finish it nicely probably. (imo)

Besides; pro resprays are expensive!
