Well all in all, to this point i think progress is great. I've learned alot, spent tons of money I didn't think I had. Purchased many tools never expected needing, and of course, recieved tons of help and goodies from 6gc.net. My thanks to the community once agian, I couldn't have come this far without ya guys!

Renamed the thread - Mainly because I have a hard time focusing on one thing at a time. So now its just general Progression, instead of simple engine bay work.

Working on quite a few things, but figured i'd drop a few pics to show whats going on.

Alot of stuff is a learning experiance for me, so please keep the comments constructive, instead of "WTF dumbarse, why'd you do that"

Fixing up the ugly Trim



Layers later - Will post the complete finish later this week when both sides are done.



Hood acquired from 6GC.net - In progress - Prep Work



Sanded and Primed - more priming and sanding to come - Learning that painting correctly is quite fun.






I do have a enclosed place to paint and such. I figured the beginning sanding and priming didn't really need that much closed quarters considering I have much much more to go.

Have a strut bar to install which will be done later this week. Enjoy.
