I had to put the car down for some services such as rocker cover gaskets etc. So I took some time to clean up some.

I posted on the wheels awhile back.

Now I am working on the engine area.

Heres a before pics of engine bay when I bought the car.










Heres what I have done so far. Not show quality or anything but Its alot better. I glass beaded blasted the parts and painted them the same color as the wheels.

Nice work! It's amazing what subtile changes will do to a car.
So what's your next project?

Thanks Double A Ron

I dunno what the next job will be. I dont plan them,it just happens as I go. I want to do a 5 lug swap with black bullets with polished lip. But no cash for that. So its free and cheap mods for me.

I hear ya. But there are plenty of free/cheap things you could do:

wire hiding
quarter window molding repair (I don't know if yours are bad or not)
clay bar paint to make your white paint look as good as possible
polishing misc underhood components

There's probably more that you are even thinking about. You don't have to spend lots of $$ to make Fox bodies look good

I would take the intake plate and re bead blast it, paint it black and then sand the paint off the top. It would look alot better that way in my opinion.

Thought about that but then the silver wouldnt match. It looks decent in person. the pic shows all the defects due to the flash. Ill take another pic and post it later.
