hey hatch the colour is impulse blue(from VZ commodore) with a bit of blue pearl added. got him to make up 4lt of it so the whole car will match when i do the rest at about christmas.

and magnet as for the holes i have filled them all in except the holes for the brake hard lines ... so ill end up drilling holes in it everywhere to secure cabels and stuff... but ill be making it neater then factory so all the hole locations will be different to stock if that makes sence. it takes a lot longer then i thought it would to smooth everything but i think it is worth it in the end.

But dude, no no no! Don't put crap on the strut towers after you've smoothed it all! Hide those resivours...

nah mate thought long and hard about that and i still want everything to be easily accessable. plus heaps of people run into over heating problem with aftermarket resivours because they hide them below the engine and trap air pockets and they dont have a bleed point so the resivour has to be the highest point of the cooling system.

ran into a little problem with the walbro because the tank was from a s1 VN that has the 2 pump system . but after some cutting and swearing and stratigicly placed hose clamp its all back in and working well :)
