    Tank will clean up and caps have been reverted back to yellow itemsim not trying to make the car look mint as its actually very good for age and miles more bit more lively hence red boost hoses and rocker

        who ever buys it may want it factory looking.
        Dave,

        Thats the thing as mine isnt a grade A Escos its more a very good usable one so in my eyes the folk that are anal about factory looks are the ones that want low mileage examples and so on, mine will never be that so i think the bay looks shit factory......

          Thats the thing, i no everyone has there views and so on but i actually think it will look quite good as lets be honest everything is black being Ash black LUX, obviously original hoses will be there to revert back and rocker isnt an issue and hardly an expence for paint.

                Keep all your standard hoses ect do the coolant hoses in red aswel as doing just the rocker and boost hose will look abit odd I think. Some elbow grease on the rest of the engine.

                  Wont be doing coolant hoses mate as i think it will look too much in red, im thinking boost hoses and rocker red with everything else black as it but replenished.

                    Keep her standard as the good ford intended mate imho will be easier to sell when the time comes as it doesn't look "messed with"......

                        I some times think I'd like to go standard.

                              It would look shit with a red rocker and hoses, just keep it original and tidy it up

                                Here is mine. I have a mix of blue with the black parts and a couple of blingy bits.
