After spending 6 hours to get the alternator mount made





No that air filter cant stay there.....


Bye bye bulk head



Bit of primer to stop the rust monster...



Tried two of my engine covers i have... prob gonna paint it red...





Any way with most the engine stuff done i turn my attention to the bonnet i have.

Sanded all the scratches back and out comes the primer again... also cut the bonnet to allow more airflow







So as it stands
