A few months back I started an engine bay clean-up and have a few pics of my progress along the way. I did a small wire tuck, did some polishing, and added a few show pieces along the way. Here is the bay about a week after I bought the car. You can notice the wires on the strut tower from the headlights, battery, and washer bottle. ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/typerengine.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/typerengine.jpg) Got bored one night and rerouted the driver’s side headlight harness through the fender, alont with the washer fluid lines. I alsow painted the washer bottle flat black and added a header, ingition, pulleys and a few dress up parts. ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/IMG_0187.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/IMG_0187.jpg) Next I painted the wire cover gloss black, made some customer carbon fiber covers for the fuse boxes, and added a GReddy carbon kevlar cooling plate to clean up the rad area. At this point I was still to lazy to start messing with the wires an the pass. side. ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/ROTY9.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/ROTY9.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/ROTY8.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/ROTY8.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/ROTY7.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/ROTY7.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/ROTY6.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/ROTY6.jpg) Yesterday I finally had some free time to finish the pass. side. I ran the wires that I could throught the fender, shortened up some of the battery wires, and cleaned up the ground wires. The I degreesed the engine bay and used Meg’s hot rims on the block and tranny case. After the bay was dry I used Meg’s body scrub, cleaner wax, and Mother’s Reflections wax on the painted parts. Finally I took a drymel and some polish and polished the p/s line and motor mount. Here’s some finished pics. ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED7.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED7.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED6.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED6.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED5.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED5.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED4.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED4.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED3.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED3.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED2.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED2.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED1.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/ED1.jpg) …and some shots of the whole car: ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/OS4.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/OS4.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/OS3.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/OS3.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/OS2.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/OS2.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/OS1.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/jharter/Engine%20Detail/OS1.jpg) Thanks for looking comments/Questions welcome. ---
