there goes my plan

dont worry it wont be all white the engine block its self will be black, cylinder head just cleaned, rocker cover chrome, radiator chrome, ancillaries white, engine mounts chrome, pipes black, suspension white and black, hubs white,

there are my plans in a nutshell had the ideas for a while now

sounds good mate, i'm going a bit more extreme with the white, just not block and head; they'll be staying black and silver

good luck and look forward to seeing the results to compare

Really nice. I just love how much everyone puts in the hard work. And shares the rebuild together.

Love the wheels

Great progress - i'm a big fan of white mk1's ! Can't wait 2 c the end result of all your hard work!
