Engine bay

Colin P · 23rd July 2015, 08:08

A bit more cleaning done yesterday under the bonnet. I like the engine bay to be as clean as the outside a little more detailing and it will be finished.

That's amazing Colin, looks like it's just rolled out of the factory! Right, I've been shamed into going out to the car.......

Very tidy, nice to see the engine bay as good as the outside

All I would say, is that please don't be tempted to go down the "over-restored" route of polishing things like air-con pipes, engine mounts (and alternators on V6's) as they didn't have that finish on them, when they left the factory!

I wont mate dont worry i want it to look like the day it left the factory and nothing more. I dont like the look of over restored i like the cared for natural look. The black scuttle panel has rust bits on it once they sorted and painted satin black job done.
