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

Take the engine & loom out...go nuts, then put it back in and reroute the loom:

Turbo engine in:

Must admit i'm cheating...diesels don't need a lot of wires to work
