Well sounds like a plan and if you get all the paint in then it wont take to long 

Update time,

Well after finishing the manifold and rocker cover i decided to spray and brackets black so i did this and just placed them together to see how it would look, so here goes 





Pretty happy with how it came out and i think polished chrome, black and white should mean a nice finished engine bay, just cant decide to spray the main bay white or black? 

right well i have got the wiring to this point



But im stuck as to how to get this round thing of, not sure on its real name? so any suggestions on what its called and how to get it of would be good?


Until i have got that of i cant get any more of the wiring out, and i cant seem to get the dash out either 
Anyway enjoy 
Cheers

four 13 mills behind it near the pedals and fusebox. good work so far btw. white will look clean

Brake master cylinder. Ballache to get off apparently, cant say I've ever taken one off though. Not sure about white or black for the bay colour though. May be a bit too much with the detailing of engine.

Ahhh well it needs to come of so i will give it a go 
Yeah i know its going to be a pain in the arse to clean but i think it will be well worth while for the end result

little update, got the engine parts pack on just now so heres a few photos for you

engine looks tidy

that round thing is the vacuum servo, the master cylinder bolts onto it

Looking slick mate 
Regards the brake servo -
Stick your head in the footwell and directly behind the brake pedal there are 4, 13mm nuts, remove these nuts. The servo piston is held in the back of the brake pedal by a ball joint clip, pain in the arse to remove but once done, the servo will then pull out of the bay.
regards the dash -
There are 2 (possibly 3  ) 10mm nuts through the bulk head, under the scuttle/rain tray, there are 3 (possibly 4  ) bolts, along the underside of the dash, under the steering wheel,  there are 2/3 bolts behind the glovebox/passenger airbag and there are 2 (possibly 4  ) bolts behind the centre console cubby hole

Hope this helps
