Ohhh top work chaps! The cam cover looks ace too.

Will be round for a nosey in a bit, I mean to drop a couple of things round

[ed4ran]

[ed4ran]

front is now red, but still needs some lacquer.

[ed4ran]

Now lacquered and resting in place to keep it out the way while it dries:







May get around to refitting the lights etc tomorrow.

So far im chuffed with it all and how it came out. Its not ment to be a show car. Im saving for a proper job sometime next year. But for those going to Caenby corner you'll get a better look on friday.

Ahh nice progress, nearly all finished then!

Just wondering.. might seem a daft question. Is it alrite to run them without the cover over the belt? Cause Ive just painted the cam cover on the Swift I bought and I did wonder.

Good work fella's.

Top job chaps! Looks nice and dry

[ed4ran]

Yeah we are both running without the cover, but you are at risk of a stone or something similar getting in between the belt and sprocket and causing the belt to jump a tooth or more, or even snap, which could easily result in valves meeting the pistons at a high speed.

I thought about this when seeing the Jap tuners at the shows, without them. Depends if you want the looks or safety with the cover?

[Retro_10s]

You could always make a clear lexan/polycarbonate cover....

[ed4ran]

lol, i was thinking about an alloy one, and maybe a new cam cover to match (but not likely).

I'm inspired, hats off to you both. I'm planning on doing something similar for my next mini, only it will be a track slug.
