When I dey-decked mine, I left the middle 3 holes (2 aqt the front and 1 at the rear) to allow some flow through the middle.

I struggle to get my engine hot.

That stone chip has done a lovely job of hiding my shity welding on the drivers floor pan *smiley*

Can't wait to get it back from paint and start bolting all the new shiny bits on to it and building the engine.

I think I'm going to do what Joe did and just drill a 2mm hole through a few of the set screws in the block. Just to let any trapped air out. I've done it more to promote flow around the block/head and even the cooling out on all four cylinders.

At least you've shrugged off that project completion syndrome quickly.

Found this pic on my phone. Looking a little bit more like a car before it all came to bits again...

Looks like a new one. Can't wait to see it painted. Mine's ok, but with f/g front it never looks as good as a steel one.

I'm quietly excited about getting it back. That was the first time it hasn't looked like a piece of shit while I've had it, certainly gave my motivation a boost.

Hello Fabrice, where have you been...

Its just black etch primer under the stone chip. Can't wait to see it in paint. Rick isn't happy with my choice of colour though, need to find an alternative that doesn't look so blue/green...

is this the part where you go to tweak the colour and it ends up being a completely different colour afterwards?

Nope. I have a colour in mind, its just case of narrowing it down to the exact shade. They often look good in a picture, but not quite right on the panel...
