It's a lot of work when you get into it.... you don't think it's going to be but things develop
To degrease the engine bay I used
P21S Total Auto Wash - P21S Car Care and Detailing Products I only did small areas at a time as I had never got a hose pipe out under the bonnet before, then I used
303 Aerospace Protectant - 303 Car Care and Detailing Products to treat is afterwards. The main things though were small wire brushes similar to a toothbrush to clean over all the areas I could get to when the degreaser was on that made a big difference.
As said a lot of the brackets have been removed and re-painted plus I sorted a lot of the loose wires etc.

Samco's available from all over these days.
Still running the standard ECU here so the MAF remains... the blue induction hose was not just for bling I wanted to improve the breathing all around when I had it mapped earlier this year, hence the top mount kit as well.
I've kept away from an induction kit as the 99/00 MAF is made from chocolate

They are only small bore that's why I've left the keys in the pic for perspective
