I am prob the last person to work on the engine bay of this car, and can feel your pain, your lucky its better than when I first started on it!! I can attest to the fact is wasn't the previous owner that you purchased it off that did any of the horrible things to that engine bay either. My freind brett also gave it a really good buff before it went back to the owner, it shouldn't have any swirl marks, he's a wizard on the tools Good luck with the build, I look forward to the new and improved engine bay 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
