holy crap thats clean

HOW did you get the engine bay so clean

??

The engine bay took about a week to clean a lot of sweat and blood as I cut my arms about a dozen times trying to get into the nooks and crannies plus I\'ve got a lot of cleaning chemicals from the years of detailing cars.

Shot of the interior.

Also made the front indicator lenses clear which was fun.
Another shot of the engine bay. The screwdriver holding the air pump in place has now being replaced with a proper bolt.

That is stunning - the white inlet really looks the buisness!

I really like it and only cost me a tenner to be fully cleaned and powder coated.

Tasty!

Seeing this is pushing me to get the finger out and fix my vert and go cruising

I don\'t blame you love driving mine when weathers good. Took me over 400 hours to do everything and get it to look like this.

Wow that\'s a lot of work, but clearly worth it :Thumbsup!

Prof · May 21, 2013, 02:07:01 PM

hi guys

Been a while since I\'ve been on the forum last year wasn\'t a good year as I lost my job in July and its been hard trying to keep up mortgage payment\'s as for the fc only did 80 mile in it last year and has been wrapped up in garage since September and to top it off engine block in my st205 cracked so had to spend a lot of time and money rebuilding that. on a positive I\'ve been making moulds to remake the side repeaters for the fc exact copies in any colour currently working on a set of clears for mine with a slight white tint to em will upload pics once finished.
still trying to find a few bits for mine to finish it off hopefully get to come to a few shows this year let people see the car
