Title: Section with Engine bay pics?
Post by: naika on January 01, 2009, 03:59:26 PM

Hi,
I'm new here due to buying a 318is a few days ago. I've been on many other forums for years and I probably know quite a few members on here but anyways....
I searched for engine bay pics, since I'm cleaning up mine and want to paint my valve cover and intake manifold but I'm not sure what to do.

I had painted my M20 but I'm not sure the same theme would look good.

Any info on where to find that stuff would be great, or please post yours...
Thanks a lot

Here is a pic of my new baby

I dont have too many pics yet, just a few I took when I brought it home and I already started taking stuff off the car to go over it.
Here are a few more.
Next: working on the front skirt ( thinking of installing an Alpina late model), replacing the fart can that is used as an exhaust, and putting the engine back together.
