Looks good jef. You need to look at getting some cooling ideas for that turbo and the cone being bang up against the header tank There's some of my DIY heat control in my profile album

Oh and i will soon be putting ver4 heads on my version 2 which i will also use my existing manifold.

might be right there but im sure its not as simple as u say as v1/2 heads have single coils in each plug hole and v3/4 has one single coil pack in the middle of manifold so some re wiring would have to be done

the head castings where the plug go on v1/2 is square to take coil and plug even under rocker cover the v3/v4 heads are oval and also under the rocker cover so don't think the square coil pack will fit into an oval head casting

+1 Prodrive.
Yes inlet manifolds are different but the connection to the cylinder head to manifold is the same. The difference between the manifolds 1 - 2 and 3-4 is the shape of the runners with the 3-4 having the inlet tract under the runners and also 3-4 has different throttle cable layout and single coil pack lugs.

I know its not a classic but Moleys wheels do like nice in white, against the Silver I think its the best combination I've seen.

I have some TE37's which look similar to Moleys and my car is also Silver so I'm seriously tempted to get mine sprayed up White now.

The bay looks fine, I would go with a better alternator cover, something to cover the battery and the fusebox and go with a nice rad shroud, get rid of that pink strut brace and a bigger filter
