Work in progress, here's how it looks today.

 

do the a/c lines

 

Clean it before polishing it!!!

 

looks nice, but i agree... clean it

 

yeah. some degreaser, engine detailer, and love will do that whole engine bay some good.
but you did say it's in progress so for a start.

 

looking good. I suggest getting a cusco or carbing cooling plate and polishing it too!

 

yup, needs a good cleaning.

 

looks cluttered and dirty, and theres to much blue, ditch all those blue hoses, clean it up and arrange everything cleanly and your set

its off to a good start

 

Thanks for the input. I was planning on doing most of those things already. Curious about the A/C line suggestion, do you have an example of that? Sounds interesting.

I also agree about the blue hoses. I never liked them but my installer used them when he put the turbo in. I'm looking for options there too, so if you know of something better to use, please point me in the right direction. I've also seen some clear hose used for some of the oil vapor lines but havent found a source for those. I've heard they turn ugly after a while though and may not be a good choice.

Also, already have a nice cooling panel, just havent put it on yet.
