Engine bay makeover

摘要

Engine improvements are always exciting but this time there is no tuning involved. There is something very satisfying about opening the bonnet of a Mini and seeing a well-presented, tidy, clean engine bay. A clean engine is a sign of a well-maintained car and it is much easier and quicker to work on when the need arises. What, if anything, needs to be done to your Mini's engine bay will depend upon the usage, the overall condition of the car and what you are hoping to achieve. When a bodywork resto is carried out it is nice to continue the good work and improve all other areas of the car, including the engine. If the engine has been removed for a rebuild it is quite straightforward to finish it, and the engine bay, to a high standard before reinstalling. High standards can also be achieved when refinishing and restoring individual components over a period of time.
