My unfortunate engine bay
hello all, only recently started prowling the forums here, thought I'd share the one and only pic/proof I have of my engine bay as it stands. I bought this car about a year ago from a friend, I've done my best but in order to give it the TLC it deserves I've taken it off road till I carry out maintenance and improve on the original
it's work in progress, soon it shall be anything but pink under there!
Wish me luck!

Was he a member on SIOC??
Thats terrible mate, I can see why you want to change it all back to standard, your best bet is to ask the breakers on here for a price on replacing all those pink bits.

could be worse, clean off the yellow caps and the plastic covers would tone it down a lot

Thanks for the feedback, the previous owner is on here I believe. Infinity is his usual online handle (it was his wife's motor)
I don't know where I'm going with the bug just now, will see where my budget takes me!
