Ongoing frustrations :D:P

Hello to you all again, its been a while. I had a short trip to Toodyay and also went a few places such as Motorvation Wild scenes there..

Anyway, the 'Rona has caused more problems than I thought. Because of current financial status the 1G-GTE conversion is currently out of question, therefore spending a bit of cash on the stock has to be the go. The carburettor is not stock after I took it off, much larger in fact. After taking it to a specialist I had it reconditioned (acid bathed, new gaskets all round etc.) Found out it wasn't tuned correctly at all, with a few parts missing as well

The head is not being shaved approximately half to one millimetre, and there was the purchasing of new parts - ignition leads, spark plugs, cables, leads, so on and so forth. Around $600 with all the unfortunate fucking around. Im fortunate to have some mates helping me with all of this, both the construction and purchasing!

Ill post some piccies up soon. After all this is done, I might dump the ole 'Rona. I was inspired when looking in the Corona dedicated thread and saw that pretty nice white one with campered wheels as well as the rally / racing one with the superlites Any suggestions one shockies and springs that are good bang for buck?

One question, I have a manual arriving soon, but before then I was wondering if any of you would know any ways of cleaning up an engine bays??, making it more manegable, cleaner and less chaotic with all the wires and such all over the place?. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers guys, have a good one.

EDIT: noob question, I cant see avatar options in User CP??

You've neglected to say what it is exactly you own?

Oh my bad, umm ive posted my car up in members rides. Its a 86 Corona, nothing flash but clean, great paint etc. After I fix it ill either save for a conversion or the Beemer. However I was wondering about your views about suspension kits and cleaning up all the cables and such in an engine bay.
