just got done painting my engine bay.. also started tearing down my motor for the new seals,pulleys,timing belt and cam gears i have coming

i first sprayed a silver base coat then hit it with gm quasar blue.. still needs to be cleared.. but you get the idea
all hoses will be replaced and all the hard pipes will be removed and wire wheeled later.. so exucse the overspray on the few items.. it wont be there when the car comes out ;)

after i get the car running im removing the hoses and hard pipes in the bay and replacing all the rubber and painting all the metal pipes black.. figured id do it after the motor work is done to be safe.. then im moving to the suspension.. ill be doing a new set of rear toe arms,suspension tech sway bars,prothane bushings and everything will be epoxy coated.. also MOAR LOW !! im looking to get another inch of drop out of my coilovers by welding new perches on the front.. my rears arent even close to being maxed out so no concern there

stripped the paint and wirebrushed my intake manifold back to a shiny silver.. looks pretty good ! now to reinstall it and start on my new timing belt and pulleys

another thing i have to do is extend the injector pigtails so i can tuck the harness that usually sits on top of the manifold under it ;) but thats for another day

everythings starting to go back together.. just waiting on my timing belt.. finished painting the last of my engine bits.. just need to touch up a few spots on the bay i saw i missed and paint the underside of the hood.. next project im starting on will be REALLY FUN ! i learned that honda b series headers will bolt to a toyota 4age if you swap the flange over from the 4age.. so right now im hunting for a used set of b series headers once i find them i will order a 4age flange i have access to a nice welder at a friends uncles shop.. i can buy headers for my car.. but i want to try making my own.. since the honda ones have longer tubes and on top of that it iwll cost 1/4 the price and be a ton of fun learning something new
