Another picture of my 1275 GT.

 

I decided to ditch the cone filter and replace with the original (drilled and fitted with a K & N)....

 

I feel it looks better, it is much quieter and I haven't noticed any difference to performance...

Just tarted my engine bay up - it needed it! Painted the block silver, throttle body, air intake, rocker cover, and the cervo. Cleaned up the hoses, bulk head, fan etc. Just waiting on my rocker cover decal to come through the post. It will read Mini-1400-8V.

These all look so good. Mines embarrassing lol. I've never spent any time or money on my engine bay. Think I might start to clean it up :P

after many months of being very jealous of all the lovely engine bays around i decided to do something about it.

 

this is what it looked like when i first got monty:

after a massive clean with degreaser and a power hose:

then this is what it now looks like, need to save up for some new hoses/pipes. so got to decide what color would be best:

Stripped loads of parts off and repainted most things.Polished the rocker cover and added new hoses.Wiring re-done,in places, and switched from a blade fusebox back to the standard glass type.The engine bay was painted in the new green,whilst the engine was still in.It still not finished yet tho.Attached File  20140917_161407.jpg   247.35K   23 downloads
