Thanks guys. I figure the powdercoating should far outlast standard paints. Also saved me a lot of time as I didn't have to clean them!

. It only cost £100 for the whole lot to be blasted and coated

It's a side mount alternator bracket aye. Helps the engine bay look a lot cleaner in my opinion.
Here's somebody else's version
Had some shit news yesterday so made no progress this weekend. Lost all motivation for everything. I'm gonna need to force myself to cracking on all week

Look good and beware... don't prime the engine without spark plug cos the alternator will caught fire from straying fine petrol mist from the plug's hole........ "Fire, fire, where's fire extinguisher" LOL

As I haven't updated this for a while.. I have tidied the engine bay up a bit in preparation for my FD alternator and side mount swap. Doing this has lead to another mod I've just decided to get on with also though

. There's a few other bits and pieces I've done too. I'll try and get this done sooner rather than later and post up a proper update. We all like pictures so here is a bit of a teaser

It's either a mini air filter or a gilmer pulley. Hmmm

I live in my own reality sometimes (most of the time according to my wife)

Finally got round to reading this thread, great work on your fb Jesse. couple of things I need do the same, such as the door seals, but funnily enough ive just fitted the same prototipo steering wheel:)
Must have a meet up at some point, only an hour away.
