The plan was to just change the motors over but once the old one was out, it was decided to repaint and rewire the engine bay. We managed to do a fairly good job considering we hadn't done anything like this before. The engine bay was stripped back to bare metal, all the holes were filled and welded. Just a couple of pics of before and after. #1 16 Replies Related Threads

I like the fact that you removed strut tops and masked steering, brake lines, ect before paint. A little effort for a much better result. Blacked out grill sure does give it that "evil" look about it. Any future plans? #2

It came up really well. Planning on just driving it at the moment and let all the mods run in. Would love to put a bda in, but haven't seen any for sale, also would like to change the front struts and put the rx7 inserts in. It does have coilovers and konis at the moment but not enough travel in the shocks. #8

How much travel (compression) do you have? The car looks low but not what id call ultra low. If you are bottoming out mabe you should change spring rates. #10

I think its because i used escort struts instead of the cortina ones. #11

I have about 2 inches too and my car sits a fair bit lower than yours. What sort of paint is that on your car? 2 pac... enamel ?? #12

The paints 2pac about 13 years old too. #13
