Engine Detailing - Finished Pictures please

Post by Chaps »

You know what its like when you lift the hood of your prize motor, to find a slimy old motor sat in there... you want to shut the bonnet again el-rapido dont you?!

So, What do you do? BLING IT UP with stainless & chrome pipes, samco hoses, painted rockers, hidden wiring looms and all those juicy modifications like carbs, throttleboddies and air intakes and the likes.

I want to see some pictures of your results after all those hours spent with bleeding fingers polishing and painting...

Few I've found...
Brunty's engine in former glory..
