Did a couple small things that are interesting to no one but me. But they make me feel better. Found my original heatshield and it was pretty rusty. I was gonna buy a replacement but honestly, this one is fine. I took my drill/wire brush to it and it looks a million times better than before. Here’s some before and after pictures.
Looks way better. My god it was horrible before. It’s still not like, amazing or brand new. But it looks way better. Here’s engine bay shots before and after.
Next thing I’m gonna do is pull the engine, yank the turbo, exhaust manifold, etc and clean them all up and get them coated so they look new. Progress! I’ll pull the IM too and clean it as well.
