Waterblasted the engine bay yesterday, and a few more engine parts, covers etc.... came up quite nicely.

Ahhh. its all due to my fantastic photography. In reality the paint is pretty fucked.

I seem to rememeber you posting up a pic of a white starions' engine bay you'd cleaned up scum... It looked fucking fantastic! :). Kinda my inspiration.

Gots me my exhaust manifold back, woohoo! :). It's not cracked, so im pretty happy. It did have a pretty big chunk blasted out of the flange where it had been leaking though, probably a good 0.5mm deep... I had it surfaced and checked for flatness on the other flange as well, was fine :). I pulled the old studs out and only buggered one of the threads, yay. One helicoil later and its as good as new.

Wrapped the thing in heat shielding as a mate had heaps left over. Hopefully it actually does something, apart from looking absolutely tits :).

Man I'm scared starting one that I had professionally rebuilt, so bugger that! :o

Looking good, how did you restud the manifold btw?
