I'm not really sure how the final look will go. The rocker covers are away being powdercoated in red and once the ITBs and airbox is on I'm not sure what it will physically look like. It's a weird way of doing things

Some more pics incase anyone is still awake
The engine and gearbox is all stripped down and re-built and on its way back to the car builder.
The Listerbell factory have designed bespoke 3D manifold which will be machined in alloy to fit my ITB setup and also are doing the same for the airbox. The pic below shows the mock-up of the set-up. Engine should be with the car builder today or tomorrow and (hopefully) in place before New Year.

Just make you realise that car manufacturers spoil engine bays by covering it in nasty plastic.
Remember opening up the bonnet on the RS4, hoping to see the fully V8 in glory and to be sorely dissapointed by the amount of plastic.

It's funny how many pics there are of them on 2 wheels, no wheels, broken, pranged, in bits, wrapped round trees and even... dirty!! I'm going to try hard to stick to four wheels facing forward... and clean

Jim - Great to see this coming together!!
cannot wait to see the finished article - the part fitted up chassis is looking really well put together.

Love the AirItalia livery, however it just does not sit right on a Lambo. Every time I look at it, I am always reminded it should be on a Lancia
