Testa, I suppose a base coat would dress it up some but then half the fun was making use of the fact that the thing turned such an ugly gold color!

 

Here's a before and after, I promise I'm done after this.

 

So how much you charging for the greg's one stop engine bay restoration service? Seriously, great job. And for the record, I like the tank.

 

Oh, and you have the best avatar EVER!!!!!!!!!

 

Rice a roni!! Hehe... Saw the car the other day, the engine bay is seriously clean!

 

Tigershark: You couldn't pay me enough to clean the engine again, I had a PS rack that was leaking like crazy and the whole front end of the engine was just caked in mook. As for the avatar, that poster got me through many a long night studying for calculus and the dreaded logic circuits classes, circa 1985.

Doc: My engine bay may be clean but Doc has an awfully 'perty Momo wheel...and the horn even works!

 

beep beep! hehe... You gots the big bling tho, just gotta get the pimping BBS wheels back on the car yo!

I'm in serious envy of that Vitesse MAF, can't believe how it opens up the engine bay space wise.
