Progress for today:

Loaded all the parts up and went to the engine shop.
Red came over and stared some cleaning.
She has her work cut out for her there

Wow this is moving along nicely, good job Kyle!! And Red, I'll bet you're excited!?!?!/

[Phantom409]

And she likes buying parts

My progress for the day, cleaning the engine bay. Or at least starting to clean the engine bay. Somehow a hose managed to sneak down my hoodie and hose my T-shirt with antifreeze. Tammie was kind enough to lend me one of Kyle's old shirts. I don't mind cleaning but those sneaky hoses have got to go. Other than that, I brought home a few parts, front sway bar, a very greasy part, I think the starter or alternator (can't remember), another very greasy part, and several plastic panels.
Sorry no pics today but I did purchase new valve covers and my EGR (blockoff ?) plate arrived today. Still have to buy a rag something eliminator, a wire loom, new hoses and a few other things. Now I know what Brian meant about the nickel and dime stuff.
Funny thing is I'm really not getting to excited. I'm just burned out from all the extra purchases and wonder when it will end.

all the cleaning will be worth it in the end. nothing like a clean engine bay! and probably your starter was greasy. also yes EGR blockoff plate. kyle is taking the EGR (power robbing emissions stuff) off your car.

Well the engine bay won't be sparkling but it will look better than it does now. Here's a pick of the parts I brought home to clean.

It never ends!! I've dumped soooooooo much cash into my car this winter, I can't believe it.. Had no intentions of spending soo much, but one thing leads to another and another.. It'll be worth it red!! Can't wait to hear her run..
