Engine bay is clean of grease but looks 30 years old. I would like to get it looking like a newer area. How do I go about dressing it up? The pad between engine and drive seat is falling off the wall. Any and all tips appreciate. Thanks,

Paul

get rid of the padding in the engine bay.
it's a water trap and usually the firewall is rusted through at the bottom of the pad.

then, remove the engine, get the engine-comp sandblasted and respay it with the original paint.

voila!
