2.0L Race Engine Updated Photos

Hung that amber fiberglass sheet metal today. Its kinda ugly
in its own sorta "correct way" I think it will grow on me.
Milt what do you think? Time to take a shower that fiberglass grinding and fitting makes me itch

Wear long sleeves and gloves - you don't want the fibers getting into your skin.

It looks nice (albeit in a vaguley sort of medical equipment way). I'm not sure how the translucent shroud will look with gunk on the inside, but even if it does not grow on you, remember: you are period correct and the others aren't.

Thanks Randy, Im done w the fiberglass, but in the future I'll take your advise. The engine wont have a chance to get dirty on the inside, I'll either blow it up, or tear it done in 40-45 hours.

The fiberglass looks great Very nice!

And I like the engine mount bar.
I drilled mine earlier this week!

How about a few pictures of the car?

I saved over 5 pounds, and I have raced this car for over 5 years,
no major mishaps just been hit in the right rear quarter panal 3 times and numerous off track excursions. Driving the so cal freeways is much more dangerous

Shuie 2 reasons: I like the look and we run a 2 hour Enduro at willow springs. I also add 2 more lights for a total of 4. 2 lights in total darkness does not cut it

Ok, thanks. Yeah, I guess lights would help if you guys are running in the dark . They do look great.

The standard front lights are removed for airflow to oil coolers?
