wow didnt see this comment, cheres fella me happy now haha

well here we are again peeps another update full of smoooths, have been looking around some mk1 engine bays at shows and trying to find ways to set mine apart from the rest, havent seen many or any that have done this so far and i have a few other "details" still to come but wont be revieled for a while.

this line really sticks out when u look closely in engine bays and u can always see this in the corners and would really p*ss me off so i smoothed it out.

this is before, admittedly you wouldnt see much of this once the engine is in and the car is on the floor.



so got the welder and grinder out


then few skims of filer and saw fingures later, few bits of sandpaper and some primer....







may not be to everyones liking but i like it. i no its not the best of updates but its still progress, all comments welcome if you have any. thanks for looking.....




btw cant find my thread on edition38 and the search thing is crap, if anyone can find it please can you link me!

Looking good mate

I'll be doing such things with mine, whatever looks bad will be cleaned/smoothed whether its visable when the engines back in or not

Look awesome joe, its all the little details most people wouldnt bother about that really sets you bay apart i think. nearly every mk1 bay ive seen this year still has seam sealer in the corners lol
