Picked up the powder coated bits today, very happy with them. Quick mock up just to see how the colour scheme looks;

Looking good dude!

Nice.... not sure i would have done the intake but its very rarely done so fair play.

[Simeon]

Cheers guys, I have been pressing on with this, but it's so slow when everything you pick up to fit has to be cleaned and painted So, have gasket matched the inlet and exhaust manifolds and been cleaning and painting .. nearly ready to put it all together

You can see how small the ports are;



One done;



Inlet and exhaust ports on the head marked;



Comparison;



Distributor before;



Prepped for paint;

Nice attention to detail, inspiration for when I strip mine out. 

[Simeon]

Cheers, though struggling to maintain the attention to detail .. it's taking ages!

Bolted the charger on yesterday and mocked up the alternator, which I need to build up next.

[SoundillusioN]

yeah i know what mean , although I shot myself in the back by taking shortcuts on a couple of things, never again...

that looks great.

[Simeon]

Cheers

Unfortunately a couple of days ago someone caught the corner of my bumper in a car park and ripped skin off the iron Fortunately she stopped and owned up and we have agreed repairs outside of insurance so soon to be properly sorted. Put the bumper off my other Jetta on for the time being as it's Mot day today ... picking it up at 2.







I also took the clocks out to replace the highbeam light that had stopped working, so thought I'd have a play with the colour filters and also flipped the filter on the lcd screen so the numbers light up in the colour whilst the background is black. Looks pretty good though the red plastic I used is actually a little pink so might redo it later.

And so it begins...
