Re: Engine / engine bay cleaning / polishing

BAD - BAD - BAD - news.

I was going to repaint the front subframe too with the engine bay cleaning .... but two big holes appeared under the *multi* coats of dirt just where the wheel arch covers are screwed into the front subframe (careful everybody the rot starts from there) . Then decision: my alfa 164 wil be a donor car!

Many thanks for all your suggestions which I will definitely consider when I find the right 164. I have got many new parts and will take the rear subframe off from mine (just changed last year). These car do really need to be waxoiled otherwise they will soon dig down in your pockets!

BTW if you have a good 164 I could give her a good home and a decent overhaul with the shining engine bay OF COURSE. (I have left a message in the classified wanted section).
