Fair play dude! Woulda thought It would have made more sense to paint the 'bay while the engine is out the way but then again you don't seem adverse to ripping your cars apart at any give time lol!

Have you decided on a colour for the respray yet?

Haha yeah man, would make sense but i don't really have any spare cash and as you say i haven't found a colour i want to go yet :D but once it's all up and running, won't be hard to just whip the engine out and give it a paint :)

Colour - Luminous Pink.

Do it, let the haters hate!  :cool:

I'm not happy you've ripped it out so soon though. Means we have to wait well over a week before we can see the engine going in!  :evil:

Ah that's alright then. When mine started looking ugly (no bonnet, wings, lights, suspension etc),  the only person I had to hide it from was the missus.
