Of course, the motorsport season was in full swing, and I had to get baby out there in her natural habitat.

Eventually I took her home for Winter break and got around to sorting out some iskoos.
The engine bay was trashed, so I bought some goodies and set about working.

I moved everything out of the way and cleaned the paint, hosed the engine down with degreaser, and repainted the valve cover. Then I replaced most of the missing plastics and called it a day.

My dad's business partner did me a solid and pulled out my roommate dents, and I made up some touch up paint and tried to hide the wound.

I'm chicken to refinish it because the paint is bonded so poorly, if I start sanding I might not stop.
