With the motor coming along nicely, I was fortunate to pick up another gem, a MG Metro slanted fin rocker cover.
As with many things, it was also in a sorry state and needed a fair amount of prep work to get it decent looking.

With a little bit of vision, elbow grease and paint, it was brought back to life, and really compliments the engine.

The gearbox was also given a good once over, and the obligatory cnetral oil pickup installed
