Peter P Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi Guys, So thought i'd post up some photos of the before and after for my engine bay since Rob worked his magic on all my polished stuff. This is how the engine bay looked when I bought the car a couple of months ago: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 And these are the pictures after I did a bit and after Rob came over and helped me finish off the inlet manifold, throttle body and the turbo pipes. The pictures aren't great but you get the idea! Very pleased and Rob was a legend both with fitting and getting the bits looking so good to start with. Thanks also to Paul at Whifbitz for the polished top radiator pipe and TRD oil cap which help to finish it off for now anyway! Cheers, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do Jamie that would be brilliant mate as I could really do with one to tidy that area up! If I pay you postage etc would you be able to dig that out for me?? Cheers.

Peter P Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 them pics are worse than mine mate ha ha. ill be in touch soon mate and pop over and sort the other bits out. :p:( What can I say mate the lighting isn't great in the garage as you know only too well so it was always going to be a struggle getting a decent image! I'll get it out in the sun when the weather cheers up for some better ones mate but I think peeps can see it's loads better than it was when I bought it! Still needs a few bits fitting as you say but it's a work in progress and looking loads better thanks to you and the bling!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I will have a look peter, be hard to post tbh as its huge and fragile. No worries Jamie. If you do have one i'll come and collect it mate if that's ok as it does detract from the work we've done so far, not to mention it's a bit dangerous when it's running!! Lol. Cheers.

Thanks to all for the kind words, hopefully it'll be at a few meets this year so everyone can see the hard work Rob did in the flesh. Just need to sort my front bumper and the doors out now and pay for my insurance! Ouch! Thanks again though chaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
