    E36 - Engine bay clean up

    Spent some time cleaning up the wiring under the hood and de-stickering. I plan on shaving the brackets and painting the engine bay. For now, here it is in the raw.

    After I wash the car I hit the black trim and all black plastic/rubber under the hood with 303 Aerospace Protectant. It works great.

    I need to make it out to one of the meets, And yes, I would entertain offers.

    Nice job. Im not much of one for shaved bays on stock cars, but I see the appeal on an engine swapped car. Looks really clean - I would love to wrench on that engine!
