Good job with the easiest job on the planet lol. Nehoo will have a thing about the wheel polishing, need to think of new ideas for her. Getting slightly bored  :lipsrsealed:

Well if you make a tidy sum on the rocco then you may have some free funds for the golf.....  Is there anything on your car that's always bugged you that you've never addressed or had the cash to sort?

. To this date I don't get how student loans work... If you don't need them to live on why do people have them... Surely they take like half a life time to pay off?

Right, I'm bored of opening my engine bay to show people the magic and it looking like complete and utter crap. So here comes operation sought out engine bay (original i know).

Initially I have decided to work from the bulkhead towards the front. The first thing was to remove the wanky anti freeze washer heater wiring which was simple enough, whilst the bonnet rain tray was off I back to blacked it very heavily and it looks like new  :smiley:

Next was back to black the actual rain tray, It looks nice;



also did the ECU cover with black spray paint as it was uber fooked



next i decided to do the top mounts as they look like rusty peices of sh!t. The only spray I could find was some random zink radiator spray  :grin: so used that.
before


during


after to come tommorow. Also did a few other little bits like hide the dump valve pipes as much as possible and removed the extra injector wiring to tidy up. More to come tommorow hopfully  :smiley:
