thats my engine bay with out motor

this is my bay with the motor


give some ideas on how to do it

oh another question i want to put in a 92-95 radiator
any diagrams or something maybe some one did it and took pics on the process on how to do it

 

Simple Green Degreaser is amazing. Be sure to degrease around the master-cylinder well.

Pressure wash the bay afterwards.

Remove charcoal canister and related crap if you live in a non-emissions state. =D

Respraying the engine bay looks like a good idea. Gloss Black matches nearly every color. Hides oil stains too.

 

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem

You can start by getting rid of that horn

 

the horn is gone the pics are kinda old but the car still looks the same and the engine bay still dirty though i was thinking of taking the engine out again and cleaning it and put the engine back in

by the way OFFICE888 u think i should respray the bay gloss black????

 

i think that matching paint in the bays looks better than black, but then again black does hide oil stains. I would pull the motor, get a few different sizes of that blue tape for painting, and spray away. Would look best if sprayed with a "touchup" gun (small gun) but any way would work. I have seen some rattlecan jobs that look pretty good too. Personally if i took out the motor I would wire wheel the whole motor and tranny, then spray it with some POR aluminum color high temp paint along with hitemp clear. I started out just washing my bay, then i started wire wheeling, painting, and it started looking better and better. Now i am considering a wire tuck because it gets very addicting seeing how nice of a bay you can make. by the way, simple green is awesome, but dollar general has this Purple Power stuff that is a buck and does an awesome job on grease. just DONT get it on your paint outside of under the bay. It will put a sort of film on it that takes a lot of buffering time to clean up. I know from experience unfortunatly. the paint under my hood looked awesome though even with having this all over the place. I believe it is the wax it makes a mess of. I like toothbrushes too for cleaning. Fresh electrical tape looks good on older wires. Foaming tire spray makes that mother shine nicely too!

 

Heck yeah, Respray! Just make sure it's a durable paint.

From what it looks like in the pictures, you've got a red car with a blue engine bay and a blue front bumper. Gloss black would match the blue OR the red.

As said, Fresh electrical tape, fresh wire loom, and fresh zipties would benefit your engine bay. A few new 8 gauge grounds wouldn't hurt either.

Battery relocation would be an even better improvement! You could upgrade to a full cold air induction system or a better short ram. It'd get rid of that nasty bungee cord too. =P

 

dont paint it black unless you are going to paint the whole car.
