So, in light of the nice weather we've been having lately, plus being bored and on my spring break...I decided to make a few changes.

1) NO MORE PINK HOOD.

she's got 2 cans of Krylon primer on her for now, did some black primer and a semi-gloss for the center. Wont' see some serious paint until I get the couple little pieces of damage on the corner fixed, and until I can re-adhere where its seperating up by the cowl.

If you guys know anyone good at fiberglass repair, who doesn't mind showing me how, send em my way.

2) BECAUSE A CLEAN ENGINE BAY, IS A HAPPY ENGINE BAY.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I figured, since I bought all this paint, I might as well clean up the engine bay. Also ran to the JY today and picked up a new caliper for the passenger front.

Man....all this work....and I still can't even drive it yet... At least it cured the boredom.

It's always nice to get something accomplished on your car.

Looks good. Just needs the heart.

Good deal to get some work in on her anyway. Where are you at with regards to replacement engine?

Looks good Chris!

I'm strongly thinking of going and finding myself a cheap 305 or something and stuffing it in there, just so I can drive it again at least.

Plus the car show registration has been sitting on the end table for a while, giving me that little extra nudge to do it.

hey chris, your revamped engine bay looks great!

shizzle dude, 2.8 and a t5. ANYTHING to get it running.

any SBC with accessory bolt holes in the heads is ideal. Its Most cost efficent way to get it up and rolling again.

I'd have to get a different bellhousing, and change petals, and find a non-leaky slave cyl (for the Hyd clutch), and change the motor mounts, blah, blah....

Lots of engines at the swap meet.

Hell... there was a full 2.8 MPFI there for $40! out of an '89. If i had a way to transport it and get it INTO said vehicle... I'd take it.

I'm going tomorrow, so maybe there'll be some people who want to unload their stuff for cheap, so they don't have to pack it up when the Swap meet's over.
