engine teardown
finished pulling my first engine. we ended up dropping it down from the car rather than lifting it out with the hoist. had so sawzall the side motor mount but everything else came out as i hoped. now its time to clean, possibly paint, and a new motor. here are some pics...
cleaned the bay today and removed more shit. old harness, ecu, radiator, a/c crap all removed. ready for paint....
old
new
well the bay is now ghetto painted. taped off the engine bay, did some sanding, and used 2 cans of high temp engine paint.
prolly missed a few spots but i dont really care. it looks better than before.
