Re: Engine Bay Cleanup, lets see yours!
I don't think i'm going to delete the A/C and heat, this will be my first car with a/c that actually works and heat this isn't delusional like my 4th Camaro's is, haha. I plan on pulling the motor, trans and rear end. Sanding blasting the entire bay and under the car and undercoating the bottom and gloss finishing the engine bay.

Everything Twin Turbo seems to do is about as close to perfect as you can get!

Re: Engine Bay Cleanup, lets see yours!
tnx
I try to get it as close as possible
I hate rust and especially drilling holes or modifying stuff if I can find a way to make it look stock, mount on stock holes etc. That was my main goal, make it all fit under the hood and drill as few holes as possible. The whole intercooler and stuff all mounts from stock bolt hole locations Thread
