Got a couple more bits and bobs done today. One thing I'd completely forgot about was the coilpack! So I stripped the mounting bracket off it and gave it and fresh coat of silver paint and refitted it
Also blanked off the original location for the throttle body and put a new gasket on it
Altenator was refitted next Not sure what to do about the original upper mount for it though? Cant see how it can fit with the powerbox? Is it just a case of leaving it off or..?
Gearbox is all painted up now as well It will probably end up being a pain in the arse to keep clean but meh
Got bored watching the paint dry so I decided to try my wheels against my 106 pimpin
Set myself some deadlines now as well. The power steering rack is going in next weekend and the engine will be fitted the weekend after

I hope your not leaving the alt like that, Paint it! Would let the rest of the painted engine down.
Have you tried the alt bracket for size? Might need to make one up.

Not started changing the loom yet Taylor. Not enough room under the car port to do it really as you cant get the doors open so as soon as the engines in I can get it back on its wheels are roll it out so I've got more space
The wheels look alright on it done they wooly lol. But as ste said they dont fit..bummer!
AW06, I was just going to leave it like that to be honest mate. I've degreased it so its clean. Its not the easiest thing to paint though Unless I did it with a brush but the finish would be crap then.
