plenum resprayed in bmw arctic silver, the rockers i did in a blue plastikote paint from b&q that's a very close match for ford blue. really easy to get a good finish with and hasn't peeled or discoloured. almost looks powdercoated! no rust in engine bay as it gets a covering of waxoyl/used engine oil every year. handy having a black car!

Nice job, what rad is that?

[y282]

Nice job, what rad is that?

 

radiator is out of a dohc 2.0 51erra, with fans from same car. i ran it with the 2.8i capri rad and electric fans for ages but nothing really seemed to keep it cool enough. the fans are controlled by a thermotime switch you can see under the bonnet, but i have a manual override one on the dash where the speaker bias switch used to be. under normal driving the thermotime occasionally clicks on, but if i drive it hard i find it easier to bring the fans in manually if i have to sit in traffic afterwards.

 

dont know how others get on with it but i found the 24v can get hot in there very quickly if the cooling system isnt set up just right.

clean and uncluttered, very nice, bet its a bitch to keep clean tho

[2litreScapri]

Nice, how'd you get the extended bonnet?

[y282]

and yes, it's a total arsehole to keep clean.

 

the bonnet isnt extended btw, it's totally standard. i had the lip on the end of it colour coded (the bit that bolts to the bonnet and looks a bit like a top slat for the grille) as well as the grille and light surrounds. maybe it looks extended because of that, but it's all definitely standard.
