This is one thread I'm glad I can't add to. The original black paint in my engine bay is mint.

Thats pretty sickly.

That looks like pure cocaine stuffed in that engine. I wonder if the owner thought it would make the car faster and tempararily deathproof.

My engine bay had rat **** and fireants in it on my parts car. I had ants eating my face, head, arms, back, everything.

Make sure you add the VIN to this list as scrapped.
