Spent the other day painting my engine block then treated it to a new rocker cover, spark plugs and cleaned the K&N. Its pretty much transformed the engine bay. Should of got a before shot.

Did you take the engine out or do it in the car?

Did it in the car, needed a steady hand and a lot of patience. But the detail is quite good so i'm pleased, didn't get paint on anything else.

That looks fantastic !

I'd love to do a "tart up" of my engine bay - what are all your best tips n tricks advice
considering how mine currently looks ?
Where do I start ?
Got nil money but 100% elbow grease.

Best wishes
Monty
