The car is actually still for sale, and I will repost it for sale in a little under a month if the car I want is still for sale. Basically the car will be for sale until the car I want to buy is sold - after that I will keep it until I find something else worthwhile to replace it with.

Just got back from getting engine bay resprayed...

Looks awesome Gary, very neat!

The gasket is made from Phenolic, it will act as a heat barrier and prevent heat from soaking into intake manifold and in turn meant to keep air cooler.

oh ok kwl

Anyone know where I can get these, they not listed with agents?

😮 um good luck

Hi, Gary, you can try Pro Auto Rubber. I got pretty much what I wanted there. Not exactly the same, but as close as. If you not got one there, I can try in Cape Town. Cheers.

Engine bay reassembled and ready for the motor. Waiting on 1 gasket and it will be going in... New bonnet lining is on its way from Japan.

Would it be to much to ask for measurements of that cooling plate?:mrgreen:

When I offered to share the cost of the panel with someone in order to get the panel so we could take the drawings and share with all, no one was interested...
