Yeah, the Rocker cover is a similar colour to the car, i got a Hammerite green and hoped it'd be a good enough match. Why ya ask that, think it looks good or bad? I wanted it red riginally but the halfords red turned out to b illuminous orange haha so i resprayed it the gree.
I put a new brake master cylinder into the car and finally sorted the spongy brake pedal, hopefully the brakes will be ok now.

Cool, was actually gonna ask about the Master Brake Cylinder.
I'd to replace my rear Calipers recently too - €360 for 2 Nissin ones along with my old ones. Honda wanted 650 Euro each per Caliper - kindly told them to FCUK OFF! Fair play - great work being done there.

€650 each [:0][:0][:0] Thats just sad, my local honda dealer parts dept is on a wek on/week off staffwise, sure who can buy anything off them, if they'd price the stuff reasonably they'd actually sell stuff and be on a full week.
I was having a smokey engine recently, but it was just condensation from torrential rain that got up my exhaust when the car was jacker up. I ran a compression test out of interest and all 4 are reading between 170/180 after 3/4 revolutions.

I ran the compression test again, this time with the engine fairly cold and the accelerator depressed, forgot that the 1st time, haha.
Figures this time around were: 195 - 190 - 195 - 200

I sprayed a few little bits of the engine bay blue to match the earth leads just to brighten it up a bit, some might think this a bit tacky but its an old car and a bit of freshness will brighten it up i reckon.
  Sorted out a few little minor things too, i made a fully working ariel out of 2 broken ariels. Tidyied up the interior and put all the trim panels back together. Still have a couple minor little bits to sort so I can get the car Nct'd, needs a new horn wired up, a brake light bulb and maybe 2 bushings, then I can start doing a few performance mods like a decat and exhaust and maybe a manifold.

Brand new brake Master cylinder fitted, had to make up new pipes specially to fit it but all seems to be ok, flaring the ends took a little practice
 The 2nd hand 1 i got in the breakers was a dud,, got a new rebuild seal kit for it but it didnt work properly so i just got a brand new 1. Finaly have the brakes 100%.
