whats the go with the new engine cover, something different between the two motors or just time for an upgrade ?

the floor needed a bit of fixing from the last time it was cut  so this way is much stronger as all the bracing had been cut out

yeah certainly looks nice and strong with the channels that the cover fits into there!

well that's certainly looking pretty strong :)

im interested to know, the transmission dipstick tube, how long is it ? I would love one that reaches to the front of the firewall!

I didn't think of extending dipstick to firewall, that would be cool.

NICE work John, would love to have a car hoist but was to scared to mention it to the wife when extending the shed.

im very lucky as my neighbour is a car nut and has a hoist  8) as far as getting a longer transmission dip stick there are plenty of flexible ones that mount on the firewall I went with the original in the end
the only problem with the engine cover is its akward to get out but it dosnt need to come off to often  ;D

cover is double lined with dyno mat [inside and out with carpet over the top] cuts out heaps of sound and heat  8)

yeah I am in the same boat, cover will come out reasonably easy but if just to check oil levels a firewall mounted one out be better :) what brand is it or where did you get it ?
