I finished scraping off all the undercoating and crust in the front wheelwells - seam sealed again and painted all with a rust paint we have here in Canada called "Tremclad" (semi-gloss black). I fabbed up the panels that go where the shock towers used to be and will paint the engine compartment semi-gloss black in the next couple of days. I will post pics once that is done. I also re-routed some of the wiring harness to be a little less ugly.
Once that is done it is motor install time!! seems like it has taken forever to get here....
I am seriously considering the "paint your car with a roller" option..... Fits really well with my "recession rod" budget. Will keep you posted if I actually go for it.
