Also underneath the boot the you can see breathers for my dry sump tank, the actual breather can is in the boot but if you look at the boot photo you can see from the top of that small tank a 180 degree fitting goes back down and the filter mounted underneath the car to reduce the smell of the oiling system. My dry sump pan is all polished, and all the front end cradle/suspension etc of the car has been fully sandblasted powder coated black and then cleared. The front struts have been sandblasted and powder coated silver which ties in with the theme of the car.
