Detailing the Engine Bay

Besides the motor itself, the engine bay was a mess. While I had the motor apart, I decided it would be a good time to detail the whole engine bay. I stripped the firewall, inner fenders, radiator, and core support down to bare metal / fiberglass. I smoothed out all of the rough spots and painted everything in an eggshell black. The whole compartment had years of crud and coats of paint, so I spent the time cleaning everything down to original. I removed the years of paint from all of the wiring. Now the wires in the engine bay look new, and are all the original / correct colors.
