Woah, where did the inspiration for this come from? Ive never even heard of you washing your car!

When you back in Lough?

The car is filthy, but the engine bay is getting better  :smiley:

Nice going.... Good to see you tidying some stuff up, however, is that the original wiring from the conversion? If so thats a proper shoddy job!

Yer i know its sh!t, what i want to do ideally is run the plugs super short and have two main wires that they splice into and run it right under the fuel rail, under the metering head/air intake pipe and along the chassis leg up to the ecu

Right, did my spraying today after some f**king aboot. Tried this first



but failed miserably as it was uber windy today. So after my dad finished work I relocated to his premisis.



got a heater and a lamp to get some light on the job, cushty little setup to be honest



got sorted and got primered



then after a couple of layers and an hours drying time (24 hours my arse, some people have to get on) got three coats of colour on
so went from this...



to this...



thats all for today, gonna sort out that dodgy injector layout tommorow... again  :laugh:

Right, A little update for yall.

Firstly I have sprayed up my bonnet lifters. Its not a fantastic finish but then again, I didnt put in a fantastic amount of effort. But that's not to say they look like sh!te, i'm pleased with the results

cleaned up


primed


spayed


job done


Then I nitromorsed the front bumper, which is now ready for a spray


And finally, injector wiring sorted at last- sorted em out, so have gone from this...



to this



so it all sits inside my fuel rail now  :smiley:
