I finally put the engine lid and boot lid on after 14 months. And also got to wash her :) She wasnt dirty just had a layer of dust. But man did it kill me never gone past 2 weeks before a wash Anyway here is a final picture with the service panels on covering the Rotrex oil canister.

It will be very similar to this pic  As you can see iys suprisingly similar to the MR2. I just have to get better pics or just head down to the local lambo dealer The sevice panels will have the honey comb perferation. Found a company here that does custom vehicle glass to any shape and any spec, thickness, shatter proof, tint ete etc.

he's saying its awesome...
I think the labo lid is a terrible idea. the MR2 engine bay has a habbit of getting dirty real fast... that and its E/W configuration lacks the symmetry of that sweet N/S V engine.

Ahh damn man! In saying that I've been very busy and haven't been around that area lately. The final engine bay pictures look great, so OEM looking! You'll be happy to hear my BEAMS is running like a dream  . The exterior really needs some attention though!

Do you think the custom glass company you referred to might be a good option for replacing a broken a targa glass?
I suppose you would need to borrow an unbroken one for a pattern, and it would have to be exactly the right shape so it wouldn't leak.

You might be aqware that here in Melbourne we had a some what heat wave come through.
Did a lot of driving in the hot weather around 35 degrees celcius.
Well the car was great :)
You know on those really hot days with a N/A it feels slow, but this engine kept on singing.
Water temp as per normal 91
Rotrex oil stayed 53 - 61 great as max allowed is 80 degrees
Oil temp as per normal 91
And my air intake was only 46 degrees with a lotttt of spirited driving :)
So the intercooler set up is keeping it below 13 drgrees aobve ambient
Also got to use my Ferrari horns , did i scare the poo poo out of the guy that nearly cut me off :)
