Are you going to give the motor a coat of Paint. It'd be silly not to after repainting the engine bay and all. Looking good by the way.

Cheers

Hi Josh,

Car is looking great. And those brakes, well are simply top-shelf.

Q: Is the subframe powder-coated or painted, and more importantly what is the colour?

Excellent work!

Cheers,
Tricky
