Default New engine bay pics

When winter break started I took a good look at my engine bay and noticed my bolts, nuts, and washers were all rusted so I took it upon myself to get new ones. It took me a while to find out the sizes but I finally got it and put it all in and I think it looks alot better than it did before. While I was replacing the bolts I decided I might as well sand down and paint some parts with rust tough and replaced my lug nuts since they were rusted too
For my next project I want to sand down the rear axle and paint it black

Shouldnt need to do any sanding.. Mine was lightly rusted like they all do and I just coated it with POR15... looks great with gloss black... You can get other colors too..

The bolt sizes were M6 x 1 and M8 x 1.25, the STB nut size was I think M10.

And Id still do the sanding just because the paint would stick better and last longer.

that's a nice touch really does make a difference when you take the time to look at details
