coupe gt engine bay
 

thinking i need to spruce up the engine bay, has anyone got a picture of a concours engine bay for reference
for starters what colour would the rocker cover have been from new, i'm guessing black.
should all the suspension components be black
i don't think i want to go down the concours route as i want to use the car but it would be nice to try and stay true to what the car looked like when new
thanks mike

All Black Mike.

thanks

here's some of my 1985 coupe quattro - hope they help and good luck with the detailing:tup:

Fivepot,that is the nicest Coupe quattro engine bay i have ever seen.
Well done.Amazing.

thanks for the compliments folks:tup:these were taken at ADI 2011 and the CQ's not seen much daylight since, it's been a terrible year weatherwise down here.Currently sorned and awaiting next years heatwave!!:fire:

Wow!

That is stunning. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been that clean out of the factory!! Perhaps you need a greasy glove mark somewhere?

Seriously though that is immense!!:tup:

Yes that's stunning for sure :cool:

hi micky
do they have hydronewmatic suspension(the green sphere top left)?
mike

no thats for the carb :tup:

hi mciky
ow right, so do you know what it does??
i suppose i should have known better as there only appears to be one
would the engine block have originally been painted??
mike

I wish I could find somebody local who could zinc plate brackets etc for me.

the green ball is for high altitude regions as far as i remember.. or some kind of similar witchcraft!!!

Frost do a DIY kit i think, and a spray type imitation kit...

Nice one. I've got loads of bits that I want doing

Very Clean wish i could get mine looking like this :)

Thats amazing :tup:
