Default Ohhh pretty engine!!

I finished this up last week but never got around to posting pics since I went on vacation. Plus I kinda wanted to wait until I got the black OTVC wires and the fuel lines and hood cable hidden. Anyway here is my engine with all of it powdercoated goodies on!

First here is a little before when I thought it was clean.




Now with all the powdercoat! A few in direct sun and others in the shade...kind of.

Thanks for all the comments guys! I personally like it more now than when it was polished. Plus the upkeep on it being a daily driver is WAY easier now.

Sold it. Got tired of it being in the way to simply fill up with oil. Never really felt a difference anyway. I live in a straight flat area of the country, there is no winding roads or auto x.

porksoda, I've always wondered what the name of the color you have on the exterior is. any exterior pics? I'm actually getting ready to paint my car and your's is definately a consideration. It just never looked like a factory color or you just have a bad *** camera whenever I see pics

Sorry for the wait but I've been busy ordering parts for my pinion seal and u joint swap since mine went bad. I just finished today after waiting on parts. Anyway the color of my car is "bright aqua metallic teal". It is a factory color and as for all thie pics you have seen, they are all regular pics. None have ever been photoshopped and they were just taken with an Olympus digital camera. Here is a couple of the exterior in different lights to give you an idea.
