Before and after pictures of my engine bay

[wrestler3025]

I had to save this Festiva. They guy that had it prior to me had so many things rigged up that the car was going to catch fire any day.

[wrestler3025]

The car was BADLY neglected prior to me purchasing it.

Now a few after pictures.

WOW .. I would have bet money that those could have never been the same car :lol:

Very nice professional job on the install.

Now come on and get to OHIO

Excellent work. I love that B6

Looks about as bad as mine when i first got it. Except i dont see any rags stuffed anywhere.

And i hope to go with that same engine too I'm just not having much luck finding a decent one

I guess it makes it easier to clean the engine bay when you have the engine out

[skeeters_keeper]

^^yes it is!!!! and it makes working on the engine SO much nicer!

employing the neighbor kid helps a lot too

Very nice work...

Want to come clean my engine?

[freshtiva]

Nice save, good effort, looks great :thumbright:

What was the wire running from the neg post on the battery to the positive post in the before pic for ?? :shock:

[festymick]

What sort of products did you use?

[wrestler3025]

From looking at the pictures I wouldn't believe it either heheehe. Fortunately, I have a witness that gave me a hand. Htchbck offered to help me out when I first got on the boards, so I took him up on the offer. I was shocked that someone that I didn't know from Adam would drive an hour and a half to help me out with a job that big.
The yellow wires were some sort of rig-up for the cooling fan. If you look at the fusable links he just put a spring clip on the far left one!! Also if you look just to the left of the fusable link box, you will notice a connector just hanging there, and there isn't a coil. I took the coil off that he rigged up there. It was a coil from a 94+5.0 obviously you can see he did a great job with the wiring LOL. I used simple green to get the gunk off Mick.

is that a b6 or a b6t?
