I decided to tear apart the rest of the engine bay while I'm at it, and paint it with some Por-15 then probably rattlecan flat black
Heres a before picture:
And then later in the day
I made more progress after that, finished dissasembling the fuse block (Thanks for the tip Doward!) and some other things here and there! Front bumper also has been removed, don't think you can tell from those pictures
And at last, a box full of parts! A couple hundred dollars worth :aigo:
And of course I thought of a few I forgot to order, such as the CT's h2o gaskets...

Made some more progress today!
Soon I'll go get more work done on the actual engine, if anybody has any tips for removing the ABS, brake lines, master cylinder, AC lines, please chime in, I've been avoiding them but there's not much more to take apart!
I hope I don't have to remove the IC and the... radiator for the AC, can't recall what it's actually called lol

I love all your sounds.
Yo. Fun job, huh?
I just disconnected the brake lines from the master, and the ABS, and the whole bunch comes out together.

Aah, condenser, that's right lol
Yeah buckshot, I actually like tearing stuff apart! Putting it back together, well I just hope it goes smooth!
The problem I had was removing the lines from the ABS motor, i got a brakeline wrench to hold onto it better, then got some sandpaper wrapped around the nut, and tapped it with a hammer (soaked it in penetrating lube overnight first) One had to be massacred with a vice grip to come off, But I got it!
Now all i have is to sand, clean, mask, Por-15, then probably rattlecan gloss black

Holy crap that's insane!
If I've gone this far, I'll probably take out the clutch master cylinder, brake booster, the remaining brake line, maybe drop the struts, but no way am I tackling the steering rack and everything else
The AC Lines intimdate me, but I just don't have large enough wrenches for em... Know the sizes off the top of your head IJ.? :naughty:
How'd you get the Info plate with the Vin # off?

Jag: They're sealed with o-rings and aluminium fittings so they're NOT that tight!
Trust me it's so much easier if it's stripped out

Just buy a small amount that you need for the Bay then get more later.
Even if there's a slight difference in colour you won't be able to tell.

How about for a whole car plus the bay, like a gallon?
I tend to use paint abit heavily... bad habit I know
Thats right Buckshot, i got the idea from you! Remember a PM awhile ago, I asked for your approval?
That looks SOO good I can only hope my first attempt at a paintjob this serious turns out half as good!
