Engine bay - a bit of restoration

[Codders]

My old inlet turbo pipe had a split so had to go.
Bought the second hand Samco in good condition off Froggy (big thanks ) and because the manifold had to go off to replace it... I decided to renew it by painting in red.
By the occasion I modified the breathing system by installing 2 separate oil catch tanks.
One for crankcase and second for combined cam covers.

And the outcome

I used the Halfords VHT red engine paint.. (proved to be of good quality, as my friend painted a block of his engine in VW Corrado a year ago and still looking well )

But to make it a bit darker, I decided to add a little of the black one and mixed altogether . On its own the red seemed to be too bright.

Obviously there was a layer of etching primer put underneath. I used the primer which can be used on aluminum).
