Default Cleaned the EF, under hood shots

Well, David(Neon_dave), Paul(AcuratePaul), Mathan(integra12) and I decided to clean under the hood of my EF yesterday. Lots of fun, lots of broken back, sore joints but we got her done.

All we used was WD-40, some micro-fiber cloths and time!!! I also replaced the heat shield bolts, painted the heat shield and removed the tons of leaves, sand, pine cones(lol) and gunk! We didnt go super crazy on the bay because we only had an afternoon to do it in, but in person the results are fantastic!!!

Big thanks go out to the guys that helped me, very self-less people. Couldn't have done it without you guys

nope, WD-40 wont ---- up any electrical, de-greaser will. and when using a hose you have to cover every electrical connector and wire because with a old car, you just never know if a wire is broken or corroded.

I never want to do things half assed or the easiest way... we did it "proper" which takes time.

I meant doing just the hood with degreaser... not the engine bay.

It was like slave labour I tell you!

Pics look great, although you should take one in direct sunlight from above as these don't do the super cleanliness any justice, I think.

Ya he removed the strut bar we all agreed it looks better without it, it's too bulky.
