No offense but your engine bay is nasty. Its dirty, a few scattered wires, paints chipping off the SC mount, missing the plastic cover, and the charger doesnt look pollished, maybe its just me. Definitely has potential though, love the charger, I would like to see it cleaned up! You could spend a day on that engine bay and make it look amazing.

Heres what Id personally do if youre going for the pollished look:
Use some engine degreaser.
Pollish all aluminum (lines, bolts, etc).
Sand, grind and pollish the charger and IDI cover.
Paint / powdercoat your charger bracket silver or black.
Replace all blue wire loom with better fitted black loom.

If you did all that itd look amazing.

actually what I did was use paint remover to get the paint off the charger and idi cover....and like I said its just the first stages. I also ran out of light that day and since haven't gotten back out to clean it up a bit. Its a 3-stage plan here....get all the paint off of it.....sand it down, starting with 400->800->1000->2000.....then use the polish. im about 90% done with the 1st stage....


haha and I know my engine bay looks like ass.....its functional tho....I'm just now starting to clean it up. you should have seen it before I did the stuff....

but thanks for the 'constructive' criticism....always appreciated

Looks like someone needs to have me help them with the wires! Once I get on this it will look stock under the hood again. Just need a lot of TLC...

Copper fittings on the vaccum lines deffinatly werent needed and kinda looks crude. Very bad idea on painting the supercharger bracket. That charger deffinatly isnt polished, do you understand how many hours will need to be put into that charger to actually do a polish job on it? Clean your brake fluid resivoir, take that back, engine degrease the whole engine bay. Polish the IDI cover. Replace ALL blue loom with black loom, and do it cleanly, make it look stock. No bare wires in engine bay. This will take many hours of determination, and once you get it completed will take dedication to keep it that way! Engine bays are a show-goers worst nightmare.

He has me to help him! No worries. Check out my 95's engine bay, and see if I'm know what I'm doing.

I work on the 16th. I'm letting one of my guys off for a golf thing. The next week is Mikes Wedding, and not sure after that, but I'm sure there is something that next weekend.
