Engine Bay tidying

[Dusty 997]

Been a long slow process but i've been working on gradually cleaning up my engine bay more and more.

Added Chrome direct connection valve covers, Chrome air cleaner, painted the water pump silver (was black) re routed plug wires to look less chaotic, rerouted hoses and lines ext.

Latest upgrade was removing the black powdercoat alternator case and replacing it with a chrome one. Ill be buying chrome pulleys from classic industries soon as well.

I'm quite happy with the progress so far. My next step is going to be installing a chrome master cylinder and some matching lines set up for manual brakes. The current setup is manual but with modified (shoddily bent) power brake lines.

My car is black and i just really wasnt feeling the black engine bay, it looked dirty and sloppy and in my opinion halfassed. So by replacing all of the black accessories with shiny chrome im hoping to turn the engine bay into a sort of jewlery box with the engine being the diamond ring

I'm planning on having my intake and headers and probably my timing cover as well done in Jethots high polished shiny finish as well.

Ill also be doing a battery relocation to the trunk over winter.

looking good, also it wouldn't take much to polish the top tank of the aluminum radiator either

Looks great, nice work! I can't recommend anyone for chrome pullies, but I can tell you i wouldn't recommend Classic Industries, they dont mfg a thing and their shipping is bad as well as stock levels. Lots more to choose from then those guys.

That looks really nice. One tip I can give....and you're already doing it, is take pictures and then look at the pictures. Lots of times things show up in pictures that we have become "blind" to in person. That's helped me a lot in the past.
