                  Heres the bay as of this afternoon. I had to pull the engine back out to put the transmission on cause it was being a dick.

                  So pretty much every part that can be unbolted from the block was painted black, water pump, thermostat housing, timing covers, VC, Intake, CPS bracket, everything

                  The bad part of my engine bay refreshing was painting it with POR 15, i did the best i could with prep but the paint is all bubbly... from a few feet away it looks alright but up close it pisses me off.

                  anyhow, here we go (sorry for the blur i had to pee)





                  edit: changed them to thumbs as they are huge pics, oh and forgive the shooting toward the sun/bad lighting

                  edit 2: forgot the before

                  Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
