beauty+skin deep

good luck with the clean up

i really really dig the hood you're running though  looks awesome.

[CamWeiss]

Lacquer thinner or some aggressive polish might take some of that ugly orange overspray off.

[Ivan Skare]

I'd take that motor out if I was you and get the engine bay primed and painted.

[John Hartman]

Thats what I told him too Ivan, but what Cam said will work too, if you really get in there.  Big pressure washer will help too.  Soften up everything really well first and blast it off.

[Constantin Morosan]

allready got alot of them shoptowels.. many cans of degreaser  .. paint thinner to get  rid of tha nasty ugly orange send paper and well yeah . it spring cleaning ..

its gonna take a while but its gonna be  white by the end of it .. or at least some what white ..

was worth every minute you spent, doesn't look like a diy for sure, looks slick... i love it 

in fact before i joined bcdsm i was looking for a hood with that style of air scoop in it, and when i saw yours i got excited because i figured they were available commercially :p

it  did do it  myself . but i have to admit that i spent  like 2 or 3 hours ..taping and drawing lines and messuring and re-checking and RE-mesuring .. be for making the first cut .

after that .. it was  some what  "easier "  folded back a 1/4 inch of the metal of the top part weld it , cut the two triangle piece and weld them on .  Weld everything nicely then bondo the  thing to make it look Slick , ET VOILA !!! !! i love it ..

Is your car a non-turbo? Just wondering why you had the hood scoop made on that part of the hood?

Its an AWD. Its to functionally cure the problem of the timing belt melting away from escessive heat.

[John Hartman]

its fwd turbo.

But its pointless technically, however it looks great and he did it all himself, so props for that.

[Richard Clark]

its fwd turbo.

My bad, I thought he told me it was an AWD.
