I like what you’ve done there, smart, attractive and not OTT. It’s a good inspiration and source of ideas for my own busso refresh. Keep up the good work 👍

Thanks Jason. As the rest of the equipment in the engine bay isn’t new, A sympathetic restoration was the way to go for me personally. I just want to do it justice without looking like it’s been messed about with or tarted up.

Looks great and nice to see you didn't go for red, black or even blue covers which I feel are a.bit much. Just only look at the chrome intakes when the sun's on them as the glint and shine stops you noticing the pitting - that's what I do! A couple of guys i trust say if you do re-chrome them make sure you only do the outsides as the chrome can flake off and enter the engine.

Looks fantastic, your gonna be back on the road just in time for the good weather. My chrome trumpets have been siliconed on so I am dreading getting the off without getting debris in the wrong places. I might have to take the brackets that hold the three trumpets off with the trumpets still attached?

Hello Sir. Yes you could do that but you would also need to lift them out with the fuel rails and injectors also still attached but that isn’t a problem. Just disconnect the electrical connectors and plenum
