Engine bay just looks awesome :) how did you get the wiper motor up so nice like that? loads of polish?

I've added the details above. Happy to post a step-by-step with photos when I tackle the radiator top and bracket.

Just been out for a drive in the pickup and took note of some of the jobs I want to do this year. First up the whole engine bay needs a damn good clean. It looks okay here, but there's plenty of road grime that needs cleaning off ASAP:



It'll also be going in to have the underside sprayed soon. Currently it's white:

I am taking the 95' in for some fresh sills today and to have the load bed tidied up. I am strongly considering having the load bed sprayed in tinted U-Pol Raptor but wanted your opinions on this. The underside will be sprayed with gravitex and then body colour; as I understand it this is pretty good stuff? It'll then be treated to Bilt Hamber's waxes. Any thoughts on this approach welcome.

We use Upol raptor all the time its really good stuff, I would use it underneaths as well...

 

here is a link to a pick of it in the back of a jeep we did
