Default It's Been A Long Day!!!

For a while now i've been looking into cleaning up my engine bay. It was a part of my car that was letting it down abit. So a couple of weeks ago a pm'd Marky mark on P1woc and ordered a reconditioned inlet manifold as a start, then ordered a few Samco bits.

I gave the enigine a quick clean with some Auto Glym TFR and a jet wash.

Today i went to my mates house to fit my nice new shiny bits

This is how it looked when we started.





After a hour or two we got the inlet manifold out



Leaving the engine bay a bit bare





A better view of the baby vf28 turbo



We then changed all the parts from the old manifold to the new



Now to put it all back together. Bit of a nitemare trying to put everything back to how it was. But in the end we got it right.





Then the final finishing touch for the day, a nice alloy radiator cover from Roger Clarke







JOB DONE

A big thank you to Marky mark for the manilold.

And a huge thank you to Leighton for fitting the beast for me.

p.s any work you need doing on your car Leightons your man
Very experienced on Scooby's now

Engine bay looks really clean Daz. Looks good with the manifold too.

Wouldn't happen to be the same Leighton who picks up his new car on Sunday?

Looking great Darren. I'll second that with Leighton, he's a top guy and knows his stuff. He's done a few bits for me too.
