JordanEP91 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Been doing a little on the car today Removed the other heat shield that will be taken Monday to be zinc coated Looking rough!!Oil temp gauge on Also painted this and polished the top the blue is different and not the best because the colour of the engine bay so will be changeling the blue to black Oil pressure gauge on not sure why it's red because on the box it says blue or white :/ not too much to worry about Engine damper finally fitted All the lights on Also the way the wiring is routed as standard does my nut in, I want to move the wiring loom from the bulkhead and route it so it's not in your face all the time, I'm not too worried about the fuse box, there is a whole at the bottom of the bulkhead was thinking of making that bigger and routing the wiring through there, we will have to see!
