Here's mine with some pics of the rebuild of 2006. Id estimate there is about 700~800 man hours spent on this engine bay.

engine out.

Whole bay was stripped down to bare metal and all metal surfaces were sanded, filled, and treated with POR15 semi gloss black (close to stock paint). Front chassis beams were filled with chassis foam. ANYTHING that can be unbolted was either sh!t canned for weight reduction or sand blasted and then painted with POR15 SGB. The LCAs and front sway bar were powder coated NISMO silver. Every bushing and piece of rubber was replaced with ES or stock pieces. All bolts and hardware were replaced with stainless steel or treated with rust remover.

Full DEK engine swap, engine was sanded and treated with chemical stripper then painted with a couple coats of high temp aluminum engine paint. Alot of external bolts were replaced with stainless steel hex head sockets for a different look.
