Engine bay progress…

A decent chunk done this weekend. The focus was the engine bay. Cleaning and prepping for paint.

They won’t be seen but I cleaned up and painted the bumper and bumper cover frame.

I also washed the bike inbetween jobs.

I pulled the intercooler, piping, radiator, and intake and sprayed the bay down with degreaser. I think I’m going to paint the bay with the engine in.

Scrubbed everything I could reach even the fan blades. Tempted to pull the motor but that will spiral things out of control and this car has already been down 4 years.

I masked and pulled the hood to paint the underside.

Masked off the underhood stickers. I was going to pull them and recreate but that’s doing too much.

I have a few more things to pull them I can start adding color. Then I can pull the valve cover and other parts to refininish.
