Reply to "Mangusta Restoration work.....engine compartment"

Many thanks for the complements! I am very pleased with the way it turned out.

To answer the questions, no, I did not vapour blast the box as I dont have the equipment, I took it to this man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1cwHdwDOvU Aluminium stays bright for a long time because it's peened by the tiny glass balls with no sharp edges. I did not coat it with anything. If it was my car I would have painted it and added matting agent to the clear. That way it stays nice for much longer and is easier to clean.

The carb is a Holley. I was not involved in building the engine only making it look pretty. Not all Mangustas came with the carb mounted backwards in my experience.
I found the strap for the jack so didn't have to make it.
I will get some Diavia stickers printed up and let you know.
