Underhood rehabilitation
After a couple of long weeks and many hours in the garage, we were finally able to take our car for a shakedown cruise this evening. Thanks to everyone on here that answered questions and pointed me in the right direction. Still have a few things to do, but I am very happy to be able to finally enjoy our car.

Re: Underhood rehabilitation
Thanks! Got into it a little deeper than originally planned, but very happy with the result. What was the factory finish on the stock turbo heat shield? I wasn't sure and not being a fan of anything painted silver I went with some Eastwood Spray Gray for now.

Re: Underhood rehabilitation
Wow! Great work ... looks MUCH more like it should. Sounds like the elbow grease paid off!

Re: Underhood rehabilitation
It was just a unpolished stainless steel. They turn steel brown over the years like mine. Now your making me want to pick up a ceramic coated one!

Re: Underhood rehabilitation
Ok - that makes sense. It didn't quite have the look of either tin/zinc or cadmium plating, nor a painted finish.
