After sixteen years of owning and driving my TR6, that sort of list would be impossibly long and contain repeated items. I won't even attempt it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Although my 'wish list' continues to grow and is about that long. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What paint did you use for your engine bay? mine needs painting, it has about 5 coats of white, blue and magenta. i was thinking of doing it in black.
 
I had the same Prob. with multiple layers of paint inside the engine bay. I did not remove the engine in the process of my renovation.

The trick is I used Speckle Trunk Paint Spray. (It give a textured finish)
(Very Durable!)
Not only does it cover well, but also acts as an undercoating.
It goes on easy and multiple coats blend very well.
Any Napa will have it.

Re: Girl Alert!

I'm afraid that if I list it all, my wife will find all of the invoices that I have cryptically filed. Sometimes we're just better off not knowing ALL of the details.
