With that done, I sanded it smooth and gave it a quick polish. I couldn&#8217;t get to all the corners, so some of it isnt as shiny as it could be. Looks way better tho. I cleaned it all out, greased the pump and sealed it all back up ready to fit. I stuck the gaskets on, and did the throttle body at the same time.

I pushed the car out enough to get a chair in front of it and settled down for a good few hours of wiring. I got the entire right hand side done (that;s Drivers right, not from the front). I taped up each sensor individually which looks miles better than the flexi tubing stuff. I&#8217;d fitted the oil filter and dipstick one evening this week, and put the last of the sensors into the block so I decided to fit the accesories for good too. It looks ace with it all done.
