Would like some opinions (pics inside)

87FloridaGT · August 27th, 2009, 05:57 PM

I have a few big shows coming up that I have entered the car into and from what I can tell I am done with the engine bay. I am also done with the interior but there is really nothing else I can do with the interior (I have already repainted 99% of everything and replaced what I can)
This is where you guys (and gals) come in...do you see anything else that needs to be touched up or replaced in the bay? I really want a good showing!!!!

Well thank you beautiful lady...I think it still looks cluttered with the wiring in there but I do not have the skills to run the wiring inside the fenders

You could put the battery in the trunk, look a little less cluttered

I thought about that but I JUST bought a new battery tray about 2 months ago and installed it LoL
I would hate for it to go to waste now

well you could polish the power steering pump and the belt tensioner. also the iac control motor.. You can also take a toothbrush and some armor all to you wiring harness, it will clean it and make it shine..

e3sean · August 27th, 2009, 07:04 PM

keep the battery up front. try to make it as stock looking as possible. if you can afford to get a new ps pump that will make it really look clean.

loom the wires going to the maf and any other bare wires.

Thanks for the input on the power steering pump...I have thought about replacing it for several reasons.

1) Because it is dirty and I cannot get the black paint off of the neck of it

2)I know it could use new fluid and no better time to do that then if I replace the pump

Oh and I JUST resprayed the belt tensioner last night to what you see in the pics...it was quite dirty before I did that and it had scratches all on it

damn, looks good, I gotta get my stang running... this week I promise baby lol

fl4321 · August 27th, 2009, 08:53 PM

map/bap sensor look like it could get some paint. do you like billet pieces?

TKOTLARZ · August 27th, 2009, 09:17 PM

Chris951 · August 27th, 2009, 11:20 PM

Paint or replace the power steering pump. The black would flow nice. That one looks all nasty.

how can you see his power steering pump in those pictures? do you mean the ac compressor lol

only thing I would do differently if it were me would be to either do away with the mac cai or powder coat it black and get some black silicone couplers but that's me.

He wish's he had a MAP sensor, because the thing would be blown. You mean the MAF?
