Erm - one less than it should have - bit of a modification I came up with years ago - the black blob just above the top run of the belt should have a pulley on it but then the water pump only gets driven on one side and you need a 2270mm belt and they are neck end of £50 from vaux
However what you can buy is a 2240mm belt - loose a pulley and get better drive on the water pump and it's £20 cheaper for 30mm less!!!!

Looks pretty damn gucci to me mate. Your doing a good job of it. I'm guessing the blasting and powder coating cost you around a 100 quid ?
