Need to torque all of the suspension parts down which I am assuming you do when the weight of the chassis is on

Looking good Tony, I'm going a similar engine colour for my Aussie build, but I didn't need to get as involved in the reprinting as the chassis was in beautiful condition.
If you wanted to add a little more red to the engine bay you could also consider red water hoses. I just got mine from mx5mania (mx5mania.com.au) as I wanted to replace all the water hoses, then just get a copper tube to recirculate the heater hoses, if you have a nb8b, if you have an Nb8a I believe they get a hot spot on the fourth cylinder so need an in line thermostat to fix. Good luck with the build mate

I think if you go with the red hoses you will loose the nice looking and stand out of the engine. will look like a rats nest. over here we call it ricey looking.. but it is your build your choice..

Chassis ordered, going with a rich blue color for the body parts, have also removed the majority of the wires out or the loom, power steering rack to be drop off next week so it can be depowered, so still making progress just slowly.

The depowering of the rack is actually pretty easy if you wanted to do it yourself. Great work on the loom. And the wheels look good
