   Engines ready to drop out now, literally all I need to do is undo the mounts and drop it out. Thinking of spraying the bay a different colour because I'm gonna treat all the surface rust on it. Any suggestions or pics? Cars posi blue and I've not decided on what colour to paint the engine or what colour hoses yet either lol

   I was thinking White but it will end up looking soooo dirty! The cars going to be used hard, not a show queen at all

   once you have painted the engine bay laquer it and seal it then you could just use a cloth and warm soapy water to clean the bits you see
