The best bodywork on a coupe I've owned. The engine bay is a mess though so that's my next job. smile

Got a nice surprise when looking through the history, the new turbo fitted to it last year is a Superspool. And on closer inspection the FMIC is a Proalloy one.

The rocker cover is cracked in the usual place and there are lots of rusty fasteners etc. It's not something I'll get done today but I'll sort it over the next few weeks.

Your new Coupé looks great Joe! Looks very cool! Just to refresh the engine compartment. I wish you only good moments with him.

The rocker cover is cracked, so I painted a spare one I had in the garage. Not sure about the black

Opinions?

Hmm, I'm not sure. Think I'll do a red one too and then decide.

I think either red or polished for the centre is best!

Just need a nice set of horns and a re-furbed bracket Joe laugh

You really are making that car look lovely!

I miss it...

And even more annoyed that I sold it so cheap frown

But I'm happy she is getting the love needed!!!

Lol, after all that I'm not sure the dark wheels suit the dark car.
