i was mate. did i come over then?:blushing: i think i ended up outside my tent cos i could not find the doorway :biggrin:
Well not updated this as I have not had anything going on with the Celica. But I have started to play again, I have added a new head unit a Pioneer avh-x2500bt and its a great bit of kit really happy with it. I have also collected all the parts to redo my engine bay. The engine plastics are going candy blue and being hydrodipped with a skull pattern over the top. The big plastic that covers the rocker cover is going and I have a rocker cover that is being powder coated then have some sheet metal to fabricate a spark plug cover and a inlet manifold cover. So I will add photos as I go and see what you think.
I will upload some this weekend when we make up the two covers.

Ok the covers are made and its just a case of a bit of filler and a sand then off to paint and hydro. So just some pics of what we have been up to I will write up on how it was done when I have more time.

I have rounded off the edges now and made it fit a lot better so when it's all flush up I will take some more photos before they are sent off for paint.
Now off down the pub

hi guys,
well i have decided to change my engine bay. this time i want to show the engine off a bit more so have got rid of the big plastic rocker cover and am powder coating the rocker cover in candy blue. the plastics are going silver with a Mr Creepy hydrographic over the top. so far i have fabricated a spark plug cover and painted and hydrodipped the plastics. i have a spare rocker cover that will be going to the powder coaters and it will all be steam cleaned ready to be put back together.
so some pics of todays work.
