KrasH Bloody Orange Team (BOT) Donating Members 872 Member For: 21y 10m 27d Gender: Male Location: Canberra, Australia Posted 13/08/03 10:49 PM Share Posted 13/08/03 10:49 PM Just hijacked this comment from another forum (Ford Forums) about painted engine bays in the BA.Taken from the horses mouth so to speak."We have recently approved clear coating all XR and FPV engine bays as a running change. We need to put some facilities into the paint shop, but it will happen within a month or so!" I hope my XR6T get's it done Impecable timing by me.

whatever Member 76 Member For: 21y 10m 8d Location: Brisbane Posted 14/08/03 02:35 AM Share Posted 14/08/03 02:35 AM I guess I am missing out, my car is going into build on the 16th. I agree it might have a impact on the resale. it should only be done when changing series.
