My engine bay after painting

I pulled the engine last fall and it took about 2 hours. Since then I've been slowly working on it. Had to patch a hole rusted through under the battery tray and into the passenger footwell as well as a small hole on the driver's side footwell. I've got pictures in my personal album if you want to see them.

 

I pulled the crossmember, brake and clutch master cylinders in about 15 minutes 2 weeks ago. I've painted the crossmember and control arms. Still need to paint the TC rods and sway bar just to prevent rusting, then everything will be bolted back together.

 

Need to rebuild my brake booster and have a MC on order so that will have to wait. Does anyone know where to get a rebuild kit for a decent price. I checked Victoria British and thier kit costs as much as a reman booster.

 

I'm upgrading to Energy Suspension bushings and Toyota 4X4 calipers in the process (yah I've got the "While I'm at it" disease). Rebuilt the calipers tonight, good thing I decided to, one piston was jammed pretty good.

 

Hope that answered your question, I guess I rambled a little but everyone here at home is tired of hearing about the Z. They all nod and say ahuh alot.

Yes, rattle can. Semi-Gloss black acrylic-enamel.

 

I think it took me 3 cans of primer and 4 cans of color. Not sure because I used the same stuff on the crossmember, control arms, R200 mustache bar and misc parts.
