Where did you get the RedBull coil cover? - Could do with one on mine to give it a boost lol!.

Otherwise looks a very nice job (better than mine)

i did and thats how i got my engine to its state now

what things can be bought chrome?

Chrome dadhpot cover will make quite a difference. I think although your alternators clean - It looks pretty dull. Either paint that silver or buy a chrome one; which are £125 Get a chrome T handled dipstick from minispares - They're nice Get a new chrome rad cap - Halfords ones are chrome.

I think apart from that the only thing that i'd change woud be with the paint. Theres not enough contrast so it doesn't look as good as it could.

Get some silver hammerite and paint your alternator, clutch casing, coil bracket, heater valve and use black hammerite to repaint the top of your rad - Looks daft in gold. Also you could go abit further down with the silver paint on your clutch lines - Pant the cylinder.

Apart from those bits - Good job! You've made a good job of tidying the wiring up!

Sort out the overspray on the bonnet spring, catch thingy

and if it was me i wouldn't go too overboard on chrome, i think if you start to have too much it gets a bit takcy looking but thats just my opinion

Just a word in your ear,....Don't forget your coil needs to be kept as cool as possible,... Putting a can over it will cause the coil to break down a lot quicker due to the can insulating the coil, making it very hard for the heat created to disperse.

If you want a shiny coil,.. get some wire wool and some autosol,.. most coils (even old nasty ones) will come up like they've been chromed!
