Well, i got tired of looking at all the rust in my car and decided to do something about it. Had very little space to work with so its not perfect but it looks 10x better.
First off we have the coolant log and heat shield. These things just made my engine look like a piece of ****. Took them off, put them in my Electrolysis bucket to remove the rust, sanded them, and painted with Rust Converter. heat shield was just painted. Only bought one can so I didnt want to waste it on heat shield since im going to replace stock headers anyways. I painted it with high performance Rustoleom paint, gray color. (which matched my engine bay paint pretty well and helped contrast)
Next we have the rusty engine bay under the battery. Pictures speak for themselves. Rust was heavy underneath the paint. The more i sanded, the more the rust was revealed.
I assume this was the source of the problem which spread the rust. This was the rustiest piece in the car. Didnt get any after pictures, but i treated it with Rust converter just like the coolant log.
