Simply stunning without a doubt. Attention to detail certainly shows. Please don't be offended by my next comment and what you have done is personal choice which always come first but just a consideration: Red twin cam rocker cover to be a contrast as well as being the focus of your engine bay?

Thanks man.

I did have it red while I was building it.... and your right it does get lost a little in the sea of gold and silver. But Ill see how it looks once the plug cover and everthing else goes on before I change it.

Thanks for your comment though :)

Cam/rocker-cover in black "wrinklefinish" and plugcover in gold gets my vote!

Adjustable camgears, no, or comming later on?

I think a red rocker cover will not look good in that gold engine bay, they are quite contrasting colours and goes against the existing colour scheme. Keep it simple with just a few colours I reckon. The matching rocker cover and brake booster to the body colour looks good.

Thanks guys... its interesting how different peoples ideas on what looks good can be :)

Ill up grade the cams and cam gears if and when I need to. But with the size of turbo Ive got atm I dont think putting bigger cams in it would be of much benefit.

Shit man. Ive spent over $1000 on braided line and fittings!!!!

Theres a surge tank on trade me with heeps of braided line and fittings for only $250!!! The line and fittings would be worth almost twice that alone.
