This escalated quickly! 1.8 is out, getting ready ready for the 2056 to go in.
 I will start to clean up the engine bay and the underside of the car to prep for the new motor.] |

Beautiful work. All I can add, and I am sure you thought of this, is try to position the clamps so the bolt is on the bottom so it its less visible on top. I know that makes them harder to access, but if possible, that would look pretty nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
