Default Halfway done!

Started rust removal and painted a few underhood components the other day...but ran out of paint.

Completed so far:
-diagonal braces
-torque mount bracket

Going to paint the intake plenum the same silver color this weekend as well as my fuse box cover and the other half of the torque mounts, then im going to paint the engine cover in a black metallic and finish it with a heavy clear to offset the plenum. Will post a finished picture.

Definitely!

Now just hit the black plastics and hoses with tire shine to really get them to pop
