i drove it today again ! which was awesome  a little longer than normal, came back and turned it off and now it wont start, it has a spark, and its getting fuel i think the battery may be causing it, as its cranking quite sluggish, so going to sort that tommorow

 

 

Looks sweet mate!!

 thanks pad! hope yours is getting on too !

 

Looking smart, but I must admit those types of breather hose and the alloy elbow really spoil the look of all engine bays (not just yours).

I'm sure it must be possible to get a nicely curved black rubber hose of the right ID and get rid of that joint.

i didnt want to over black it, i am happy with how it is :) thought of a formed hose but prefere this 

 

Thats looking great love the engine bay tuck, all looks nice and tidy in there now :)

thanks that waas the idea ! just need to finish cleaning and polishing ready for L2B

Goodwood was not without its issues bens engine lost oil pressure, so had to test it with my capillary gauge at the side of a busy motorway which includes turning the car around
