Default engine tidy up - finished

nothing major just thought id tidy the engine bay up as its not the best bit of the car, unfortunately no old engine bay pics but it wasnt a good site the usual brown header tank, wires everywhere and oil everywhere im not that mechanically minded but thought i might just give it a shot heres some pics of the car to start with







il get some more pics up of what ive done so far as soon as i find the camera
