Engine bay looking good so far mate. Still loads to spray

Happy birthday Peeps. Can't believe it's been 5 years since you were taken from us. Love you and miss you x x x

"DeLorean", yes. I've had it for sometime. Much like you have a name for your Civic, my D's name is "LEX". I don't have a name for my Civic (Or my BMW for that matter either). Here's a couple of pictures of the D' and the Civic together back in 2009. I've no updated pictures of the two together since these were taken in Edinburgh. Both cars have been moved down to Rugby since.

In better (and non-ranting!) news, made an okay start on the engine bay. Here it is fresh after some painting on the rocker cover. Painted over some rusted parts on the AC fan unit and Still a good clean up to be had, radiator cap in the post, etc. Tried wrapping the fuse box lid, but it was really really hard so I went for a rough covering of the most raised bit instead. Next time I'm at the breaker's I'll try get a spare that I can toy about with and possibly spray red. Eyeing up some red ignition leads too, will it be good practice to replace these anyway seeing as mine are now 19 years old? (I know the radiator stay is upside down in this pic, I couldn't figure out which way up to put it as my socket was slightly the wrong size so wouldn't tighten it all the way!)

Thanks mate, got some minor stuff coming up but a lot more planned Thanks for the suggestion, started reading that thread and you're right! Though it's slightly making me regret all the red engine bay dress up stuff I've ordered haha! Thanks Maz! Started reading your build thread and absolutely loving it so far, sure I will get lots of inspiration from it! As I said, making me regret ordering red stuff and not going blue on my engine bay, matches the silver well. Off work next week so going to get a couple things done to the back of the car, boot lip spoiler, rubber bumper lip (once I get the Tar buildup removed.. That will be messy) and dechromed, was hoping to get front fog lights wired in too but the eBay ones that fit direct aren't in stock unless I buy a wiring kit with them, and I'm messaging Civic/MG/Rover breakers trying to get the switch & dash wiring and not had a reply yet.
