its a little bit dirty now though

[saxx]

[VTaaRon]

thanks i cant stand oil all over the place under the bonnet has to be spotless plus if i ever come to sell always easier if shes been looked after im just waiting on the post for some parts to arrive and my haynes so i can get out there and spend the day slaving

[VTaaRon]

nice induction there
hesslevtrnice clean bay to

[hesslevtr]

what you got planned for it mate
your car looks really clean all over mate

[VTaaRon]

lower i think 40mm possibly new full stainless its a little tough starting sometimes so firstly need to sort the ignition coils im mainly about ice so install speakers in the rear next to the seats and sort the back shelf. there is a rock dent on the bonnet i need to get looked at to!

[hesslevtr]

yeah good idea getting the starting sorted first

[DevilDamo]

i would put up a pic of my engine bay, but id rather not upset you all by the amount of pure dirt under there. hehe!!!

but... i think a pic of an engine bay and arrows to what each part is should be something to be included in the faq section, so that people know what each part is or does.

[VTaaRon]

thats a great idea especially for new owners maybe a basic and an advanced and a what could be done

[nixy9]

i agree with damo there is wuite alot of dirt under mine compared to your lot lol plus its only a little 1.4 so i will save mine until it looks abit more pretty he he

[hesslevtr]

good idea damo about the pic

[pug_boe]

[VTaaRon]

you can get the engine bay steam cleaned for £10 some places are a little weary about injection engines tho

[liberal123]

Doesnt matter whats under the bonnet, whats in the boot!

my engine bay is not as bad as it used to be. but there are certain parts that i cannot get clean. probably need to spend a little more time and use better gear.
