Title: My old engine compartment
Post by: TSM Girl on July 05 2006, 10:12:48 PM

This is how my engine compartment looked before. There will be even more purple when it goes back together.

Sweet ! Nice shade of purple too. :supz:
I painted all that stuff in my car metallic silver with prismatique
in it. When the light hits it just right, it sparkles in rainbow colors.
I did the same thing with the maroon intake tube on my S-10.
Jim, TType83 got to see that when he was up here to buy his new car.

Here is the old front end before it came apart. This should have a fresh coat of paint when it goes back together.
