Engine Bay - Red & Chrome!

I took it easy this weekend. No major overhaul, just slowly reinstalling components that have been worked on the weeks before back into the engine bay. In order to get the heater back into the car, everything else that I removed has to be reinstalled in reverse order, starting with the repainted radiator fan and the chromed fan-belt pulley. The newly polished water outlet pipe was also reattached to the engine block.

Hood Support

Spent a week slowly chipping away at the hood support with the Dremel rotary tool, a half-hour each night grinding, deburring, and polishing until finally all the dirt and discoloration were gone. I've reattached it to the Volvo today, which means the hood can now stay open, thus paving the way for the rest of the stuff to be placed back into the engine bay.
