  • Time to give the Mitsubishi Magna Ralliart's engine bay a bit of a clean up! We're using quality Bowdens Own products, plus an awesome new engine cover sticker which I designed and had printed locally. The end result speaks for itself! #motoringbox

    A hack for anyone applying vinyl stickers to their car: spray where the sticker is to be placed with water and a few drops of car wash. This way if you're not happy with the result you can reposition the sticker. Use an absorbent cloth to squeegee the water out when sticker is positioned to your liking.

    Engine bay came out exceptionally well Sean. When restoring, we don't want a garage queen that'll never hit the road. As long as it's done in showroom condition it'll be a head turner regular driving car.

      turn the engine bay plastics grey because of the heat from the engine plus the oil found in silicone.

    WOW another use for the fabulous agent orange. Well done Sean. The Magna's looking clean as a whistle. I've used the trye foam in the engine bay with great results and even oven clean on seroiusly bad bits(not plastics of course) but if the agent orange with a bit of brush work will do the job then I'm in. Great jod again Sean and another fabulous vid.

    Dam it finished up great. Good job. I love Bowdens products as well although never used the vinyl spray on the plastics under the bonnet. I generally use a type foam which also does a great job. Recently I asked Authentic Collectables model car company why they have never made models of Magnas. The reply was they were never popular. What a joke. Everyone’s who reads this should contact them to prove them wrong. You must be nearly finished this build and I love it.
