Done it to me road car lock of months ago their ,

when i passed the point of no return i regretted it and i had the engine and box out for rebuild anyway .

Took the dash out and pulled through every wire and striped all so engine bay was completely bare .

Was right bit of work and when ya start putting everything back together theres not much of the new paint ya can see ,

so would advise against man unless you already have an earn for the engine out .

Clean it up with panel wipe r thinners and bit of polish might come up better than ya think

Have to agree with above, theres alot of work in it, ive done it too and its very time consuming taking it all out and the nightmare of putting it all back in. If it the engine bay is already white and your going white again i wouldnt bother lad, just polish it up save yourself alot of hassle.
