Very nice Paul i like to see engine bays nice and clean , strange how we never do the same thing twice:-

by the way i was given some GT85 spray its perfect for keeping the engine bay looking new and all you do is spray it on no rubbing needed

They look great mate.

What did you use to get them so clean? mine needs a good clean.

[pauldf1971]

It came already on the car when i bought it , one of the previous owners worked for Ford so i presume he put it on

[mmikey82]

[WildV6]

Well, my next job is to get that wishbone sorted and also the air-con, as it has a leak and has lost all the gas, I'm hoping it's not the condenser.
