Eh we all let our engine bays go after a while. I barely drive mine to the extent I've got surface rust on some of the exposed pulleys.

sleepyalero · 03-22-2015, 04:34 PM

Yeah, believe me. If I could keep it as pristine as the outside i would, but those fans are just terrible for under the hood

AaronGTR · 03-22-2015, 04:57 PM

I had mine all pristine once... painted it myself and it came out really nice... after the first engine rebuild. Then on the second one where I had the shop do it, they tanked the block again and took off all the paint, and they repainted it after and did a way sh!ttier job than I did.

And now that I daily drive it, it gets a lot dirtier, and I don't have time to take it apart and clean things. Removing stuff is really the only way to get to some areas, and it's just too much work, what with my schedule.

Yeah, i could make the engine bay spotless and it would look like the pics i posted a week later.

It is hard to keep clean, but it's your baby

As meticulously maintained as the exterior stays, the underhood is...a letdown.

It *is* hard to keep DDs spotless. Too bad there isn't a beater to drive on nasty days. Oh, wait...

sleepyalero · 03-22-2015, 08:21 PM

Eh, the car gets driven. Its not a garage queen like people think. The engine bay is just a PITA to clean. So much sht to work around.

that was the point. Your engine bay was empty why not clean it. I can't wait to clean under my hood this summer.

sleepyalero · 03-23-2015, 05:18 AM

Well with it being winter and super cold i couldnt.

Plus by now its been since November since the motor was in it, and i was tired of waiting, so i finally got all my parts and put it in that day.
