For paint on my underhood items and mostly everything on the car, I use High temp engine enamel. Can find it at most auto stores. Normally over 5 bucks a can and sprays very nicely and covers awesome. I've painted all my shields and dip sticks tubes along with everything else I could under the hood of both cars and it holds up well. Powdercoat is baked at 400 or so...so I would be iffy having it close to the turbo (even the intake). High temp engine paint is generally 600 or even as high as 1000-1200. My S2 has EVERYTHING painted with it. It cleans things up very nicely.

Good looking motor though. Glad to see someone not afraid to tackle a big project like a heart repair!

Also, may have missed it but what brakes did you go with? Did you refinish the calipers? If so, how?

Looks great, but that lift arm is smashing your fender and trim piece… happened to mine too, so I'm trying a heat gun to straiten out the trim piece. I had to bend the fender parts back too.

Looking great,

As for the brown wire (ground) on the strut body, right next to the cable housing there should be a stud that the brown wire connects to...

Well done Seb, looks like you got the steering wheel wiring all sorted out?

Paseb

my old strut at one thought

thx

Looking good. Like the seat. What's type of seats are those and the weight on those vs. stock seats? Look forward to see your project completed.

Paseb

thx greg,
well, i received a little bit of help
but your explication was clear

Paseb

i have no idea whats the brand,
i received them like that, im really happy of the look and the sitting position/confort

stock seats are heavier for sure, but i dont have any weight

my project is about to finish soon thanks
