My Engine Bay - Re-blinged

[Vlad_E]

Over the past few weeks i've been spraying a few bits up while doing a little engine work. The cam cover was leaking so while it was off I resprayed the inlet manifold and accelerator cable brackets etc...

I also needed to take the exhaust manifold off, so I put the heatshield on the buffer, and finally i've just added an x brace that I got from Mo and I've resprayed it in 202 astral black

Enjoy!

[Flamby]

that looks stunning dale! I really want to do that over summer ( if we get a summer :) ) what do you use apart from elbow greese to do that? anything in perticular?

[Bibbs]

Oh man, for an ugly engine (the 3s range will never with a beauty contest) that looks rather nice..

[Vlad_E]

Cheers chaps

what do you use apart from elbow greese to do that? anything in perticular?

Apart from alot of de-greasing with Jizer, I sprayed the inlet manifold with Halfords brake caliper paint, The throttle cable brackets with Zircon Blue and laquer, The x brace with Toyota Astral black, the heatshield was polished of a buffing wheel, and all the hoses etc have been wiped over with Autoglym rubber care.

Basically just do little bits at a time until it builds the big picture

[Flamby]

cheers for that info Dale I'll give it a shot when uni is over :)

[Jones~32]
