Preparing The Engine Bay

Everything started to be about ready for installing the engine but I still had a few small details to finish. I removed a bunch of bolted parts from the engine bay to be cleaned. Out came the engine mounts, export brace, shock mounts and hood lock. They looked a bit scruffy so I delivered them to be bead blasted and powder coated. After getting them back, they looked like new.


When I started to put the pieces back to the car, I realised a small mistake. I had left the bolts on the parts and they had been powder coated too. So now all the threads were full of paint that had to be cleaned. It took some time to wire brush the bolts clean again but after that I had some nice looking addition in the engine bay.
