Project 5: Clean engine bay
As you can see, the engine bay was absolutely filthy and just generally covered in grime.

In addition, the intake boot between the AFM and throttle body was wrapped in duct tape, so I'm guessing somebody was trying not to have to buy the part; I just bit the bullet so that it didn't stick out like a sore thumb. Once again, aside from the intake piece, this all boiled down to spending some quality time with a rag and some water to clean it up. I haven't figured out a way to clean off the oil stains on the front cam cover, but I'm not really worried about it either.
