Awesome. nice semi-write up. I've been wanting to do it a while, not sure if i have the chops

[Ray Smoodiver]

Sepang Bronze?

Looks awesome. With that said, I hate you right now.

Yeah man I know. I sorry. I wish I could help, but man. I had to whip this out within a few days. I would of had the motor back in if my rear main seal would have came yesterday like it was suppose to.

On a side note, today I did this.

Started with this.



And some of this.



one.



two.



three.



four and five.



and done.



I got white over black because it will add contrast to the dark engine bay and its old school. :)

Sepang Bronze?

Correct. ;)

Nice, I started on redoing my engine bay last week also. I could not stand the cosmline and slopy seam sealer any more. Did you put fresh seam sealer on?

[machined]

Fuck this car's gonna be awesome. Excellent color choice.

[xwill112x]

nice. very persistant work. not sure if i could do all that just for a different color, i would have waited and bought the right car with the color of my choice.

isnt wrapping SS headers a bad thing? i was going to do it but i heard they rust away/deteriorate under the wrap.

also are those the ebay SS reps? they look just like mine, and i get a ton of rasp out of them at the collector...no exhaust leak only rasp

[freeride53]

oh shiiit. this is one of my fav colors on the e60.

That's one of these:


I have a few extras. They are $27 shipped.

Just noticed that this might fill the rest of the area and it would be easier then cutting up little circles welding them in and smoothing out each one with bondo.

[White325is]

I didn't get rid of any of them holes. I might add a/c later on so I left them open.

And wattson, they are the ebay headers. They are raspy alone. I have found by wrapping them it gets rid of a lot of that rasp. If they rust out I will by a new set. Its not like I'm gonna loose a shit load of money on them.

Xwill. Its kinda hard to buy a e30 in sepang bronze. I already have over 12k invested in thid car. I think it would be dumb to sell just because of the color.

Looks awesome man. You and I have very similar projects going on. You're further along on the bay then I am though.

I'm trying to figure out wtf to do with the fuse box currently. I'm on the verge of chopping the entire harness from the firewall and making a mass connector haha.

...not really.

[White325is]

Yeah, you got to pull all the wires from the rear and work your way forward. Its a big pain in the ass...

[Moto-Mucci]

yea, thats exactly what I don't want to do.

[White325is]

I never did post an update over here..

So here are some newer photos..






Will have some new ones once I repaint the rad support and touch up the strut towers..
