Default Series 1 - Engine Bay clean up!

Took my s1 off the road over the winter to sort out the engine bay as it was the only part of the car i wasn't happy with. Ended up spending about 4 months and xx??!! amounts of cash sorting it out. No welding or anything just loads of elbow grease and a bit of colour here and there
What do you think?
(If i manage to upload the pics)

BEEF WHORE

PORK SHAFTER




Thought i'd add this cool negative

I wasn't too sure about the clears when I first put them on, but they've grown on me now, still have the originals though, if I have a change of heart

Did you spray it yourself and if so, did you leave the fuse box and loom in while you did it, want to do mine but didn't want to remove the loom.

Top job either way

Yeah, i sprayed most of the inner wings and front panel, but a lot was just dirty and cleaned up well. Didn't take out fusebox or loom, just spent hours of masking! Definately worth it though!
