Nice progress!

for future reference its much easier to remove the engine with the harness still attached. 2 connectors in the right kick panel instead of the whole engine

Yeah, I can see that. but I'm re-wrapping the whole wire harness anyway and it was still easy enough. Thanks for bringing that up though you reminded me of a question I have....

Has anyone ever pulled the wire harness completely out by the brake booster? Mine (as I'm sure all are from the factory) is held in with what seems to be a type of connector glue. I just don't wanna go ripping away at the thing, so advice is appreciated!

think that connector has a little sheet metal screw holding it to the body

Looks great so far, Kolin. Seriously jealous of the facility you get to work in.

Don't you bake them at like 150 for 20 mins then pull them apart? I cant remember exactly.

I took black silicon to my clear corers without taking them apart. I just went around the outside and made sure it was a leak proof seal.

Would anyone like to do me a quick favor and shop this pic for me.... Even though its still dirty as hell could someone please shop in the heater box and brake booster painted white and then another with it painted gray. Thanks in advance.

I think that would be a great idea man. They would blend in much better. Thats one reason I like underhood of black cars, things blend in and seem more natural.

I agree, looks much cleaner!

Put in some work Friday and a little bit more today. Finally got all wires pulled out of the engine bay, rear end out and all lines. Just have to remove the heater box and brake booster but besides those two, let the paint prepping begin!
