Looks very nice! My engine tin needs the same thing but I dread taking the engine out. Wish it was open like yours.

Hi I must commend you on the transformation but speaking from personal experience the MS primers dont last on beetle engines I normally etch prime and spray 2k paint and this has proved more durable seems that ms is not that resistant to heat. alternatively powder coat
