My engine bay.....after a little work.
When I got this car it had mice living in the fan shroud, about 2 inches of debris ontop of the intake, and missing just about everything that was ever origional to a 73 L-82 corvette. Now after a year of hunting down parts and cleaning, and tuning I have an engine bay that is somewhat presentable. I still have to get the origional alternator restored to give it more of a stock look. I only spent $600.00 canadian to do all this and that included a set of headers, an origional air cleaner and restoring a 73 L-82 carb to like new appearance. What do you guys think? I know it's not perfect but it will do for now.
I'll post some before pics when I get them scanned.

That does look good. You can see you have done a lot of hard work. You should be proud of yourself. :cheers:
