Playing around in the engine bay yesterday and started a bit of rust removal.
This is the bit i have started
Its the metal bar that goes over the engine mount.
To start with
How it is now
I've re-fitted it while driving but is it actually important?
Think i'll be polishing up parts of the engine rather than dunking them in hammerite
Thanks for looking

they are matte / satin finish but was contemplating lacquering them, just wanted them fitted to show off tomorrow lol
Not dirty as i gave the back end a quick clean after fitting them, frost on last pic though.
Cheers

Interior plastics were done in the following:
Black - Plasticote satin black (wouldn't use again as its never as good as other paint and all the other laquers apart from the plasticote one reacted with it )
Red - Hycote Fiat swift red - got it from 'boyes' store in Whitby before they stopped selling it
Grey - Hycote Peugeot Graphite grey - as above
Lacquer - Hycote clear lacquer and plasticote lacquer
The wheels were done in Peugeot Cossak grey with no lacquer, wish i had now. This paint was got from halfords.
The halfords stuff is quite good for most things, Its what I'll be using in the future.
Brakes done in Hammerite Red Smooth - For its High temperature resistance
Hope that helps cheers for the comments.
UPDATE:
Got the rear mudflaps on today, will see what the photos I took look like and see if they are worth uploading, It was pitch black by the time I finished. Had to take archliners out as i Couldn't be bothered removing the wheels to fit the screwdriver in, Gave them a good clean and a clean behind them.
Going on a little photoshoot tomorrow so should get some better photos then.
Thanks for looking!

cheers. I got the K&N off a mate, just the cone part. Then i bought the chrome tubes and silicone connectors from a site on the net but can't remember what it was
If i remember I'll post it up.
Update:
Just Lacquered the lights, House stinks of the stuff now
Started polishing the metal bits again, they'd gone mucky already, need to lacquer them once they're done.
Brakes are really doing my head in, squeaking whenever i brake and vibrating badly, quite sure its a warped disk so will be replacing both the disks and pads and respraying the wheels
Thanks for looking

Update time...
Got a tinted fog from ad_182_uk, so got that fitted:
Sprayed my exhaust manifold black
before:
During
After
Started refurbishing the wheels:
before
sanding
sanded
primered
painted
Thats how far I am now, one wheel, just needs the rim polishing and the whole thing lacquering. 3 to go...
Doing them Peugeot Cossack grey like before but this time will lacquer them to bring out the metallicness. and they have been sanded smooth this time, think the lad i got them off cut corners when he sprayed them  leaving the rim bare metal but polishing it up, then lacquering it.
Next week should be getting a new air filter as mine has a hole in it, will be making a box round it and cold air feed to prevent heat soak from the engine bay.
thanks for looking!
