well today me and my buddy nathan made some progress...kind of. we started getting into the engine bay shave, and started noticing some rust spots, then more, then more, then we took off the fenders, and CRAP! more freakin rust. I decided since i'm tring to do this the right way, I'm just going to stop trying to rush and get the motor in, and just take my time, get all the rust spots figured out, and then get this thing on the road...eventually. no pics today, but the rest of the wiring is through the firewall, the brake booster is off, and went ahead and took most of the suspension back off to keep from rusting and to make keep from getting some rubberized undercoating on them when i re do the fender wells. the fender linings were cracked, busted, and all around crap so they're coming off, which means the wire harness is going to get some serious water proofing before it goes back on the road. I also looked more under the car and will probably scrape off all of the coating and completely redo that. ugh. i kind of wish i hadn't wanted to shave the engine bay. oh well, here we go on a long journey...
