Im just in the process of making my engine look a vit more attractive
i just fitted a engine hose cover set but want a chrome battery cover and some covers for the side
Any ideas where to get them from i went to the max power show and wow the engines were ace :shocked: ive got the bug

you can get lots of nice shiney bits for you engine from www.trimsport.co.uk, including battery covers. don't know of anyone who does side covers but they'd be easy to make from a bit of stainless.
p.s. i've got a nice shiney engine! :wink:

expansion tank is made by bailey and apparently they cost £135!!! you can tell i didn't pay full whack for it! and yes mostly samco hoses, other bits are just silicone hose-unbranded but do the job for the straight sections.

Thats ace did you do all that yourself
im after a strut brace and i want mine all clean and shint like yours
did you paint some of it :evil:
-
yeah i did it all by my very own hands!!! the block is painted, most other bits are chromed, some are polished.
my strut brace is made by eibach, but they don't make them for mk2's any more. they are sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!
-
should re name you magpie. :cool: :grin:
-
ooh mine is mk3 so might be in luck
did it cost much altogethter to get the job done
id be a bit wary putting them covers did they slide over ?
You can tell i havent got a clue :grin: :grin:

for what? an eibach strut brace? still kinds hard to find for mk3's and they're about £130 now i think
did it cost much altogethter to get the job done
only the cost of new parts for the rebuild, once i found a good chromer the cost wasn't stupid. everything else i did myself.

covers? did they slide over what?
You can tell i havent got a clue :grin: :grin:
little bit yeah! :laugh:
-
I thought the covers when over your exsiting leads wrong? :laugh:
So all that paint did u do that ? :laugh:
I gonna learn somewhere im not totally stupid honest :grin: :grin:
-
i did everything yeah, i'm still not sure what covers you mean? i re-routed alot of the wiring loom through the chassis legs and the remaining i covered with convoluted hoses (plastic corrugated tubing) all the blue bits are silicone hoses and the ht leads are blue silicone jobbies just to match!
