Is it possible to get a C3 engine bay to look as good as picture #1 without removing the engine? Mine isn't bad but even a professional detail doesn't come close to that.
Very nice pics by the way but I'm saving a few to show my detailer. I'm to old and have a bad back to do this stuff anymore. I live right around Disneyland if ya happen to know somebody that can do this.

How's this?
This was all done with engine IN the car (except for the intake manifold and heads....blown head gasket, at the time). It was an absolute PITA to do with the engine in place. But, being the masochistic fool that I am, I loved every minute of it!
And, it didn't come out too bad...
