What have you done to your donor parts?
Out of interest - what work have you done to your donor engine/transmission over the mods required for fitting.
I'm hoping to swap the cambelt on mine, give it a good check over, then a degrease and a full repaint of all the donor bits. I like the idea of having a nice shiny engine under the bonnet - also gives my finances a break for a while

Cheer guys. Sounds like you've been busy Andy. Out of interest what paint is everyone using - reading around the net there seems to be lots of opinions - one of the most common being that engine paint is rubbish! Oh and then there is the question of colour

The most important thing that needs to be done correctly. And you can quote me because I am an expert in this field. The paint HAS to be and no other alternative is acceptable !! It has to be BLUE !! Any flack for this statement can be directed elsewhere because I am right ! NO !!! Dont even bother with the reply button I AM right !!!
Wheres my beer !

I know you said that you are an expert in the field.........But how are you with car engines One thing for sure, it seems that only the Blue engine paint appears to be up to the job these days  The Red & Black that I have tried over the last couple of years, for want of better words, have been crap !!??
