Wow, that looks so nice.
raise: Respect for going through so much trouble.
Mine looks terrible by comparison ATM, because of too much dust on everything. I am getting slack:yuck:.

A good clean and some Megs engine dressing and yors will look awesome.

Interestingly it's the pictures of yours that helped me find all the missing parts on mine.

BTW Turner Motorsport sell the original ///M badge for the manifold, around R400, its where I got mine and makes a massive difference to the look.
