Mine's still ugly but at least it stays clean now. This is over 2 weeks after I degreased it. Gotta love gasket goo!

Tocchi, the FG has one big mofo of a snorkel!

Love the sneak peaks of the Capri BTW!

dezza what exstractors are they,you should do a bbm conversion well worth it and not very dear to do

Dezza · Post by **Dezza** » January 5th, 2009, 6:58 pm

They're Pacey 4499s. The colour's not quite original as they had a fair bit of surface rust when I got them. The BBM should be a good mod for it one day. I have to find a new job first though.

spuddly2003 · Post by **spuddly2003** » January 18th, 2009, 5:24 pm

Does this include works in progress, that doesn't currently have anything in it....lol!!!???
This is my spanky white engine bay from my EA Ambulance...after about 24 hours of scrubbing (afternoons over about a fortnight)....and about 10 litres of cheap shit degreaser and dishwashing detergent, and a couple of "Go-Lo" dunny brushes...in preparation to be seam-welded and smoothed (yet to be done)....but before my EF radiator support panel conversion was done.
Eventually to be painted a really deep Burgundy fade....fading to black at the firewall...

Before...

After...

I will have to try and remember this thread...as well as my "In The Build" thread....so I can update this engine bay as I go along.....lol!

Thats mint!! Rad cover looks awesome, youll get a fair bit of business here if you want some extra cash

Post by **Commando** » January 19th, 2009, 3:16 pm

Normally I'd hate an engine bay like Waghoon's, but there's something about it which I quite like. Has a "work-in-progress" look to it though, like the BBM & extractors are waiting to be touched up or something.

Post by **pHaT`eL** » January 19th, 2009, 3:35 pm

Just gota change the orange joiner to blue and I reckon that will look alrite
