Can you share what's the process of shaving the engine bay? You don't just cover the holes with bondo then sand it down do you?

[e30m20TurbO7]

I cut of the unneccasary brackets , bondo over them to make it smooth then I torched all the sealant out and dremeled and scraped some out then sanded the shit out of it Primerd sanded with 320 then 600 I sanded the base coat with 1500 grit to make it butter them added a wet coat before the clear
Then I shot it with SEM aerosol paint code match base coat with a SEM clear

This is going to be sweet when its done, Im new to r3v and havnt commented much since i dont have the time i just snoop around in other builds since im going to start working on my e30 soon but when i saw that your from Provo i was like WOAH thats cool haha (Im from provo). Your build is really motivating me to start mine soon i just dont have the money since i want to do everything right. Good luck! BTW replace those rod bolts.

So just a small update today I had to spend around 320$ at the machine shop Due to the journals having to be ground a honing hottank and a resurface
The journals were so bad I had to Appernttly spend a extra 75 to have the crank welded
For whatever reason so I thought I was just gonna have to spend 240$ but crank had to be welded and I have to wait till around Friday or later before, Can pick it up
I've been waiting for every to pick my block up from the one man machine shop
You guys are gonna love my color combo on the block
It's a surprise till I have the block done
I have my pistons arriving tomorrow I also just bought a goetze headgasket instead of Shit VR gaskets
I ended up gettin sold the wrong ones because the buying didn't know his pistons
well more pics up tomorrow when it's lit out should be running very soon
Anyone have any advice where to get the original o ring and injectors tips
Any advice on what type of sealant I should use when outing on my gaskets
Rtv black or other kind let me know thanks

[e30m20TurbO7]

So please give me comments in the color it was my idea and I thought it would look good what do you r3vers think! ?
Block was honed and hotanked
