Went psycho on the engine bay, pics inside

Well in the midst of having a bad alternator, i have spent a lot of time cleaning the engine bay and degreasing it to the max. took some pics of the progress, its starting to look pretty good.

But have you tried to run it since? You know that's normally when everything starts to break.

oh ya, i drove it up untill this week when the alternator finally gave out. The voltage regulator was toasted, doing hte xmas tree thing. Car runs great, could use some more boost but that will have to wait untill i get a new alternator and pay off a stupid ticket :/ Also i have a few steering and link bushings that are shot too. No rush, im enjoying just driving hte car, and its pretty quick as it is on 1/4 bar. But ya, usually **** does break when your cleaning, the curse of caring!
