Show me pics of your Engine Compartment

[blackbird225]

I am very close to putting some finishing touches on my 69 911 project. It's been 2 years in the making now. Well, I have my motor back from Henry @ Supertech, and lots of other new parts. But I want to doll-up the engine compartment before his beautiful work goes in there. I looked around at alot of threads to see what others have done. My car is a Bahama Yellow T coupe. I have a 79 SC bilstein front strut/brakes setup and a 2.4E with Solex cams with opened-up zeniths, so it's not exactly stock, but I'd like it to appear period. The engine compartment is black, as are the wheel wells, but I thought bringing the yellow only into the engine compartment only whould look good. I've seen some raced out 911's with body-color engine bays. Show me yours if you have a minute. Meanwhile here's a pic of my car and finished motor...

Someone is going to tellyou, so I may as well: The Search button is your friend.

Having said that: here's a few engine compartments I have collected that I like a lot. Mine is not (yet, unfortunately) included!







And my personal favorite with the body colored engine tin (which I will probably copy:

Randy, I was talking about the yellow tin - more or less my body color - not the natural fiberglass!

I thought I'd throw that picture in just for fun. Not my car.

I love it! heheh
I was just batting around the idea of painting the engine compartment black, like stock, but decided to do the yellow. I think it will be cleaner/ easier to see things/problems, and looks pretty stock even though it isn't.

Thanks!
