fastdadd Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 i like the color combo you got going there that olive drab and flat black will look good Quote Link to comment
zed Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Nice job - that's a sh*tload of work. I did it with my Toyota truck, took days taping off pipes and wires Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Lookin good man! Makes me think I should atempt mine! Did you rattle can it? I am not that familiar w/ the 510 engine bay, but it is interesting how fewer relays, etc the 510 seems to have vs the 521 running down the fenders. Quote Link to comment

slodat Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I am not that familiar w/ the 510 engine bay, but it is interesting how fewer relays, etc the 510 seems to have vs the 521 running down the fenders. That's because they are on the passenger side, behind the battery, behind the strut tower and on the drivers side on the radiator mounting of the core support. Just out of view. Stock wiring that is. All of those points are out of view in this photo.. Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Yea I like the color combo thinking I'm gonna do a BRE color combo only flat black and olive drab. This car was a automatic car it has its fair share of relays, which I have no idea which ones are which yet, lol!! 5 or 6 just in the engine compartment. Some of the stuff I just painted over cause ill be replacing them anyways in the future. Some brake lines and the lower strut brace bushings etc. I did figure out why my wipers don't work cause the motor is locked up solid!! Now on for a hunt for a better one of those and try and round up some foot pedals Quote Link to comment

ppeters914 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Nice, and I agree the OD/flat black looks good. I have to pull the motor eventually, so will do mine then. Quote Link to comment
