A clean bay opposed to a shaved bay?

[Lorenz]

A nice clean bay, fresh paint, moved battery and maybe removed washer bottle (if you dont use it), plus maybe a few plugged up/welded holes and remove the sealer with wiring hidden in the guards would be the way to go. Neat and not over the top with a fresh painted/polished donk and blackened and polished pipe work always works nicely.

I do love fully shaved bays with as little in there as possible, but the costs and time involved is rediculous and pretty hard to justify when the bonnet gets popped very rarely.

My $0.02c

you realise any kind of bog u put in there will crack in the not too distant future, and you know most of those clean/shaved bays from europe/us have lead filler instead of bog in those seams ........

Im in the same boat Steve, my panel beater says go all out as he is willing to try something new and so am I.
It comes down to how much time you want to spend on it more than anything else mate, its just time.

Yep

But I am liking this though





Seam sealer off and leaving it bare!

[AusScare]

Its clean with a fresh coat of paint but most of the wires are still all there.

Yea very nice that one, I'll tackle my mk2's bay one day, but not any day soon!

[DubSteve]

The thing is I really am liking the bay though, its clean yet not fully shaved I'm thinking of going down this path!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Stop thinking about it then

I agree with most; too much is precisely that..too much. Do a few wires here and there and make sure they're not stuff you'd need to FIDDLE WITH otherwise you'll create a nightmare. clean it up and tuck it (even if you want to solder on some extensions for wires so you can group them all neatly..) neatly and finish there mate

[DubSteve]

I'm most likely going to do this a nice freshly painted bay is what it needs

[Mrk_Mickey]

Do you know how much it is going to cost you?

[DubSteve]

I will take to hand most probably all of the seam sealer with a wire brush.

Don't forget the engine is already out so it will be easy!

I just need to speak to the panel shop!
