Looking good James
I've been looking forward to a rideout when we're done, but the more I look at that engine bay, the more I think I aint going to be able to keep up!

Really looking neat and crisp, I am really impressed with the ally panels on the trans tunnel, hope that mine comes out as good.

Little word of caution being a turbo. I have my oil cooler in the same place and have had to fit a scoop to pickup air into it as well as fit a small fan for when I get stuck in traffic. Don't ask how I know but it resulted in a new short block and turbo.

Should the oil cooler not be up front of the radiator?

The oil cooler isn't mounted yet, but that is the only place I could really find to fit it, it was gonna be mounted in front of the rad but I had to put the chargecooler rad there and if I mount the oil rad in front of that I can't put a grill on the nose cone I don't think mr iva would like that!
Have you got any pics if your setup ash?
