Who resprayed the engine? Was that you or part of the engine rebuild?
The actual engine repaint was part of the rebuild. What you see coming out of the back of the ute was done. One of my helper elves went away with "spray can finger" from painting my other bits and pieces.
Now they're some "before" and "after" photos, aren't they?
Before: I was ashamed of my engine bay. At displays I had to keep the bonnet down and the car locked to hide my shame. Small children laughed and pointed - you know what I mean
After: This is no show stopper, but I am amazed at what came out from under the black stuff. Let's call it an antiqued presentation. I can show my face in public again.
It is odd. I have had the car since 1979 and it now has a grey motor that is actually grey in colour for the first time in my ownership. Gone are my gold and blue engined days.
Now I have stopped being worried about the exercise I can appreciate how much fun it all was!
Cheers
