Default Finally got some underhood shots

Between my camera being in to Canon for service, and getting the Camino out into the sunlight for something other than driving and tunning, and work, and family and, and, and...... Finally got some underhood shots the other day. Should have dusted the road dust off first, but things came out OK ya think?

Clean is my first impression. Personally, I like a well kept engine compartment. Also very neat, wire routing etc. Nice workmanship and componets Marv. Cool....

That is one good looking engine compartment, uncluttered right amount of shine makes you want to work on it.

Thanks guys. I have to move the stereo amp power wires (that snakeskin looking mess on the passengers side fender) Then I'll be happy. For a electronic fuel injection nightmare the wireing being tucked away and not a tangled mess was a CHORE!!! It was a real lesson in auto wiring starting from scratch with a bare chassis and a Painless 24circut harness in a box! I really wasn't sure who was going to win the battle
Now the battle will be keeping it clean. Even with only 240 miles on the thing so far it's dusty and dirty. But,,, it's getting DRIVEN anyways!

That looks amazing. I am jealous. I aspire to have something half as good as what you have there.
