I'm putting together an automotive website, and am in need of a couple pics that stock photography sites just couldn't satisfy :p. I'm looking for a couple things: 1) A pic of some serious mechanical carnage (rod through the block, clutch exploded through the bellhousing, etc.) and 2) a pic of some very cluttered wiring/vacuum hoses, or a lost bolt way down in the engine bay.

Now I'm sure I sound crazy by now, but for those technically inclined these are going on my custom 500/404 response pages for the site and I just can't find what I'm looking for yet. I'd appreciate anything you guys have, as long as you're willing for it to be used on the site.

If you want I can get a good picture of a piston I melted in a 7m

I've got one of these too, when the shaft of my stock 7M snapped under full boost all sorts of nastiness occured. Hole burned through piston, obviously very substantial turbo damage, it even looks as if the aluminium compressor side may have ignited itself when rubbing on the housing. Made the largest "James Bond concealing concealing cloud of smoke" you have never seen the likes of.

Looks like a 100 shot of NOS blew the welds on that intake.
Oh my, that's a connecting rod bent up all to hell. What's left of it at least. I've never seen one that bad.

How's this for carnage? All this junk was found in the baffles of my oil pan.

And some more PO carnage and cluttered engine bay.100_1464.jpg100_1465.jpg100_1466.jpg100_1467.jpg100_1468.jpg100_1469.jpg100_1470.jpg100_1471.jpg100_1472.jpg100_1473.jpg

Look at all the spacers the guy had on that poor CT26, it was stock size too. Plus there was some kind of ghetto rigged MBC with pipe fittings and some other stuff, I'll get a picture of that too.
