Haha, it doesn't look that great, but you should definitely feel some sense of accomplishment. I'm too chicken **** to try something like that.

i thought the job looked pretty good until you painted it. You should have just left it sanded until you could take the motor out entirely. Or you should just try and color match it better.

obvisly it needed to be better matching paint but you can see its not a show car or anything he was just tryin to make it like a lil better which i think he acomplished...
its prolly a beater or DD.

yea the only reason i painted it was because i didnt want the sanded metal to rust because im not doing the new swap for a week or two then im going to do a wire tuck and paint the engine bay that was just some left over paint i had lying around
