Well I finished up my timing belt, egr port cleaning, and other crap today and got the engine bay back together. I wish I had some before pics to show how dirty everything was. I actually cleaned a lot but still have some to go.

The car started and ran for the first time in 3 weeks also.

nice color choice...all looks good

you should get the manifold cover, coat it with some high temp primer and paint it the same color as the strut bar and intake??? what you think?

Last bolt on the right of the stb isn't in all the way

Front struts/ spring assemblies are coming out tomorrow so I just set the strut bar up there for the pic.

I would like to find a manifold cover and I would paint it.

looking good! that looks crazy similar to my car. but i dont have that intake, my cruise is out, and a honeycomb grille. i got clear sidemarkers/turn signals to! next thing is a front strut bar

I'd hit that.

It looks good.
If i ever get some time maybe I can get mine back together.
Manifold Cover shouldn't be too hard to come by.

What exact paint did you use for the valve cover? Do you have a number or anything for it?
