nc_beagle Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 That Starion looks better than new. Any tips for engine and engine bay cleaning? I know some of that is new equipment, but it looks like you pulled each piece off and cleaned them individually! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted June 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Well I wish my build thread still existed b/c I'd point you there. But I pretty did what you said. Pulled the engine, stripped the bay of everything. Had the car shot and then as I was putting it back together I rebuilt everything that could be rebuilt. Painted or powdercoated along the way and maybe the best kept secret .... replaced all the hardware. Some people clean and re-zinc theirs ... I was lazy. Just bought all new. Mostly 10, 12 and 14mm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing looks immaculate. How long have you owned it? If I keep the g54 in here I will definitely be ditching the factory plastic and fabbing up some aluminum or stainless charge piping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted June 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 I bought the car in 2010 as a rolling shell. I spent from 2010 -16 restoring it. It took about 3 cars and a ton of help and parts from people on here to make this one. I could create a long of usernames on here that contributed in some manner. StarquestRescue (John) being one of the biggest for giving me a roof!! The first few pages of my Resto thread still exist if you go to the Restoration forum if your interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Cary Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 It really does suck you lost your thread about your car. The amount of good pictures during the build process was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
