newcastle,

OK I finally decided to share what I have been up to.
My goal or goals is to have a nice clean engine bay wire tuck and as minimalistic as can be.
I'm going the 16G route for now, but with a bit luck going with the holset route in the not do distant future.
Ok on with the pics
here is how the engine bay looked
And as if by magic engine out.
Now to strip the bay and start filling all the gaps i think i don't need
After spending way too much time sanding and filling i eventually got to painting. First the undercoat
Then the base coats and lacquer.
I'm going to leave it at that. Next time ill be adding the brake lines and cross members. Thanks for looking.
Ok found some time before bed. Mocked up some brackets for the front mount inter cooler and the EVO oil cooler, yep im going with the EVO oil filter housing.
The first pictures are of a simple strip of metal to hold the oil cooler. Not much i can say about this really.
If you look hard at this pic you can see i've got the oil cooler attached with mole grips just to see how i want it to sit.
