Here 'was' mine before I ripped it all out for the resto. Nowhere close to the standard of Easy and Stuartrx7 but was neat and tidy enough?:

All of those look great! Anyone had any issues with the aftermarket chrome pulley/crank pulleys? I got some on my wish list, but curious how hard they are to change and if they are even worth it?
Heres a pic of my good ole stock motor.

Here's mine, no dressing up... Like to keep it as original as possible.
It's the original B 1600cc singleport.

I want to get some ideas for my Early Bay. People ask what I want for Christmas....So I think I am going to ask them to each get me something to chrome the engine?

Might be telling you what you already know but be careful with chrome in the engine bay. A lot of the stuff is crap quality and without sounding too much like a pipe smoking buffer "VW painted things matt black for a reason"

Well chuffed with my scat crankshaft pulley, degree markings make timing easy.
Have heard there are some poor quality aftermarket alternator/dynamo pulleys about that crack/shatter. Would personally stick to a stock original vw one to play it safe.

Currently in my SC (More function over form)

And in my old GT (when I was nieve and didn't know any better!)
