Tbh if your gna do a job at least do it right

It doesnt take much to hide the pipes neatly same with the wiring and looks alot better, that looks really bodged imo

it is really bodged lol.. the electric tape is only untill i can get a pipe to extend it but with out a car its hard to get around places to get pipe and some other parts needed so i have to bodge it up untill its back on the road so i can then get about places to sort it all out properly

UPDATE 12/06/08

havnt done much work on my car for ages.. its just been sitting on the drive up on axle stands with no hubs on so i decided to get new bearings and get it tidyed up ready to sell it so..

Fitted a new green samco hoses i had lying round..

and also took the rocker cover off to be sprayed

went to halfords to pick up a few bits..

also decided to get the 2litre breaks fitted and paint them before fitting..

also ordered these from courtenay sport.. they came a bit bigger than i imagined tho..

then refitted the rocker cover..

and added a vauxhall GM opel decal (paper bit not removed yet in photo)

and also hubs and breaks all back together..

and finaly car back on the floor..

tomorrow i will be going to get some black spray and spray 4 astra fan wheels that iv got to go on and then get tyres fitted by end of the week and tidy up few more bits and then its up for sale

You will need to clean that bay up a hell off alot if your expecting to sell that wiring and hoses are a right mess

Whole thing seems a bit off a rush job tbh
