Fiat Project "Stuffed" continues

Time to clean up the engine bay, rewire for the new ECM and overall all the major stuff. I don't plan on pulling the engine out. But do plan on de-glassing the cylinder walls. The engine was a strong runner and did its job, a little oil was sprayed in every cylinder and ran only on synthetic oil. It maybe has 10 hours of running time as is.







Starting to look like a real engine bay again, same treatment as the floors. Old paint off, rust neutralized and 2 coats of  POR 15.

BTW a trick for working with POR15. The stuff is great, messy and quite easy to us. However, once you start a can you typically have to use all of it. However, I've found that using a plastic liner in between the lid and the can will allow you to re-close a partial can and use it again. Without this, the can lid will "weld" itself to the can and only brute force will open it.








Work in progress, more to come.
