Re: Engine Bay Gallery! Please add your own!
Heres some pictures of my engine bay, although not finished, just a really deep clean that i did this summer
You can see in the corner that build of stuff, looks like old, broken down oil spray or something. That stuff was everywhere all down that post ah horrible.
Same things all on the sides.
After killing my hands and my scrub pad. I was just using degreaser and all purpose cleaner.
When it was done, i want to get some stuff painted and replaced but this is how it is for now

You can buy connectors for the relays where all 4 connections are held together in a plastic connector so they can't short to an object or come off.
Nice job on the ground pod!

Hey all,
So nothing like as nice as Alan's, and I don't have a "before" photo (although those that have seen it and despaired in the past understand that this is much nicer than it was!).

Re: Engine Bay Gallery! Please add your own!
Call this a before as I just bought the car.
Here we are 6 months later with a 4-2-1, orange wires (hard to find - had to shorter from a VW set), and a bit of paint.
Here it is 2 years later. Just added the aluminum radiator, water pump and the hood liner all from AR. Car has never been better-starts right up even after sitting a while, purrs like a kitten and is a joy to drive:
