Lordys engine bay clean up project
Well after having the Greenwagon for nearly 13 years thought I had better get round to cleaning up the engine bay ,as I got tired of doing my weekly wax and polish off the rest of the car
Spent a few hours with the wife's Electric toothbrush ans autoglmns engine Cleaner ,pastiche and trim restorer and some chemical guys products
Treated myself to a Rallytech gold battery bracket bolts nuts and blue washers and all the polished bolts from the scoobynet group by that John Mc kindly sorted out with Ironbridge
My mother gave me birthday money to buy a nice patterned jumper from Edinburgh woolen mill so I bought a dremmel instead and spend a few happy hours on the metal work
Still lots to do
The misses gave me some money for my birthday for clothes so I thought a Rallytech slam panel would last longer
Finish was great but then I took a dislike to the radiator brackets
Lots of dirty bits still to do and te alternator bracket was looking old and neglected
When polishing one day I Built up confidence to remove the fuse box holder
Remember I'm not mechanically minded so was proud to be able to remove the alternator cover
Building up confidence I manged to remove the snorkel
And even the radiator brackets that I took a dislike too
Then a man who I had never seen before only just seen some if his work came to NBO hq and took them away after I gave him a few pennies , times are hard
The man was lee or Locky who posts on scoobynet and had hydrotec customs
A few days later the postman came with some cheques ,junk mail and a box
A Locky box !!!!
Inside was these all done in candy green
Fuse box is great
Snorkle is candy green
The bracket had been blasted treated and then the magic Locky treatment
Bit different the alternator bracket now
Then the postman came with another cheque and even more junk mail and a parcel from Thailand for those that know me I like things from Asia
I like my Asian products stripped and laid out flat
An Intercooler first one in the uk in black woth Rallytech logo on and a gold oil or is it 710 cap to match the battery bracket and gold washers as wanted gold now instead of silver washers and a couple of free gifts
Decent bloke is Ironbridge his products are first class and great prices too on the group buys
One Snorkle in candy green with polished bolts ans gold washers
One radiator bracket Mmm I see potential for cdf racing pullies next
I also see potential for candy green cam belt cover for Xmas
Nice fuse box holder bit better then the black plastic
Alternator cover is a pleasure to look at and I love the gold washers too
Defentyl need the alternator polished and other bits powder coated now
Love the oil cap in gold
Now I must get the samco hoses in lime green now
Love the Intercooler cover thanks to Ironbridge for putting his logo on for me
Stil lots to do
Samco hoses in lime green
Powder coat other bits and pieces
Satin black spray some parts
Cam cover in candy green from Locky
Headers done in lime green from Locky
(Rob the master will have to help me woth those technical bits )
Cdf racing pullies in gold again Rob
Best couple of hundred quid I've spent for a while
A BIG thanks to Ironbridge from Rallytech ( check out website and Facebook page ) for the polished bolts ,washers ,SLampanel ,Intercooler cover ,oil cap and battery bracket
Thanks to John mc for starting the group buy
A big thanks to Locky for doing his first candy green products for me the finishing is amazing
I have predicted 2013 will be the year for Locky and hydrotec and the NBO 11!will be covered with his super products
A big thanks also to Rob and Martin from B-SPOC the new club with some amazing motors for giving me the vision and confidence to open my normally sealed wallet too
See you all at the NBO 11
I might even have something different to shock you with

John the engine bay is coming in nicely if I do say so my self 
just keeping a simple colour pattern of black n candy green with a hint of gold stands proud, enjoying watching it unfold and seeing my work in its rightful place,
1 thing when you say headers? I think I was saying to you about getting the inlet manifold dipped and finished in the candy green carbon, now that with the header tank ect freshly powder coated would really make this engine bay stand out!....keep up the vision of your bay and I will serve

Great to hear from you again
I'm glad your pleased with the finished product
You can tell I haven't a clue about engine parts
Yes inlet manifold ( the big thing with all the bits attached )
That would look fantastic
I think you said you have done a few of those allready
Candy green
Just can't get enough of it
2013 year of the Locky and his colourful bits and pieces

Oh yes jabbroni
You were one of the famous dozen that sat around the fireplace when I told you the daft vison the week before I told my counterparts in the cumbrin scoobs
I remember we had a poll and we changed the date as four of were working so we picked a date that the rest of is could come on
We didn't even have a field at that stage to someone suggested LV might let us park a few cars on the overflow car park
Someone had a bucket for cash and a book of raffle tickets and I had an old Trophey lying around at home
They were the days crisis management at its finest

I'm off the forum for 2 hours and it's all sorted
Yeah it's MY00 and standard uk modle
The rest I haven't a clue all technical stuff about vents and pipes and all that stuff
It's a good job Rob and Locky look after me as I haven't got a clue
