I decided to repaint my engine compartment last weekend since I'm replacing the engine. After removing all the brake lines, electrical wiring, accessories I wirebrushed and sanded and then painted in a polyester high build primer, painted the color coat and then clear coated.
Now to remember how to reinstall everything.

Finally got all the parts to make the custom Roadster bleeder cap for my Motive bleeder that several of you mentioned in a previous post. Pretty easy to build. Next step is to bleed the clutch slave...

Started replacing all the hose clamps. I mis-ordered the radiator clamps, so I am waiting on new ones to come in. I have a few more heater hoses to go, but Looks better to me.
