Did you make it yourself Dan? Looks great.
Is the engine up and running?

Nope. its an Evo X engine cover.
Pistons in transit at the moment.
Bit of a mixup with RPW landed me with conrods that wouldnt match my pistons so had to order these ones to spec. 5 weeks waiting for the new rods to have to wait 6 for the pistons. Think the block is getting bored out this week also.

But for now were all just waiting around

Would it be much of a job making it fit, it'd look great. Sometimes the less plumbing you see under the bonnet the nicer it looks.

Its getting a wire tuck as is. but like you have said decided to shy away from polished steel under the bonnet and go for some custom engine covers.
going to modify a celica cover from the driver side wing to suit also.
