Got the RCM pump installed today along with painting the inlet manifold in with a couple of other panels.
Went with a magnesium colour and I'm very happy with how it looks!!

All builds chew up time for fun mate if you make a decent job of it.
I used to spend hours on mine and the. Look back and think I'd done nothing.

Any idiot can slap a car together. It will be worth it in the long run.

That magnesium looks good, but I'm toying with a crinkle black - I've got some rocker covers to paint up to match too. Then some powder coating for FMIC pipes, inlet and catch can all broken up with red hoses

Need to get some black and gunmetal plastidip too to do some interior bits

Sounds good Jon,to be fair black is just subtle and suits most applications especially a dark coloured car.
