Looks very nice, not sure on the painted plastic cover though. It's similar to mine although I have black samco turbo hoses and red silicon vacum hoses. I want to do all the water hoses next.

what kind of oil cap do you have on that?

think it would be possibile to stick the top of a metal one on to the bottom of a plastic one
