I'll strip it back & repaint it, it looks really, really crap!

i was going to have it powder coated but it will turn out too glossy (so I'm told?).

I need to find a matt red to suit......

P.s: Stace the cams look flawless too.

There's been a couple of WTF's!! along the way.......

1. 3 of 4 inlet manifold bolts on the RH side were literally finger tight!!??!!
2. Charcoal canister purge solenoid nipple was broken off (& someone had tried to super glue it back on...lol)
3. Charcoal cannister vapor line from fuel tank fractured along RH chassis rail (underbonnet)
4. Wiring - Cam sensor harness had rubbed through the insulation in one spot due to longterm vibration & insufficient support.
5. Silicone reseal of fail on RH rocker cover gasket.
6. Missing nut on dump pipe (lowest one).
7. RH front inner cv boot split.
8. Mystery red wiring along LH wiring loom.

I believe they are referred to as "holiday surprises" Ross.
