Engine Bay help?

Lax89 · December 13th, 2006, 12:04 AM

On my 88 GT the high pressure hose in the power steering pump had a pinprick of a hole that made quite a mess in my engine bay for the 2 mile ride it was home from school. Theres fluid and grease and general crap stuck all over the engine bay now. It was a little dirty to start and i planned on cleaning it up. Besides using degreaser and stuff is there anything cheap i can grab to dress up the engine a bit...dress up kits are rediculous in price, so i was just wondering if theres anything I can do. I don't want to go nuts on chrome parts when I plan on getting a new engine shortly. Thanks

Dont buy a kit buy 1 thing at a time as you can afford it. as for a cheap dress up you can wrap your wires and crap with a colored wire loom like I did. but if your bay looks that bad putting sprinkles on shit does not make it taste better. you will want to keep gettin more stuff.

hmm i cant really tell because it wont just pop, and if theres anything holding it, i cant really see it...I guess I'll just have to rip it out violently, sometimes after fine tuning all the time u just need to break some shit lol, but I'll post elsewhere
