looking great
is there an actual reason why you have moved the oil filler to the rear of the rocker cover?

VERY nice man.
Not a bad idea with the cooler piping too
Looks like the piping will clear chassis everywhere will it?

My guess would be to clear the bonnet brace.
Looking forward to seeing swaybar setup.

your engine bay is starting to look as ugly as mine with the convertors. Im thinkin of modifying a gen 3 engine cover to mask the ugliness.

Wish i could get to my GB Galant and start putting it back together. Looks like everything is going to be a very tight squeese.
With the converters remove the plastic hose fittings and replace with brass ones. Have seen so many of them fail on mate's cars and the guy who is putting Gas on one of my cars always replaces them.

They have to be flat.
I tryed putting them under there but the engine mount and starter motor cause things to touch.. No to mention f%^k all to mounts them on.. As i dont drill holes in my body of the car i can't screw them to the Bay.
It wont matter wat they look like, the engine bay looks nice enough, things are easy to get to if need be.
Ill get some pix up last next week when i get some more things done.

Top quality work there, it's a beauty, they make good rally-cars so to
see what your doing is a bit different, should have unbeliveably good
power to weight ratio when your all done.
