Here's what I started with






Then I decided to clean some stuff up, so I removed the front end

With the engine and tranny out and the engine on the stand I had a lot of cleaning ahead of me



After hours of cleaning she finally has some paint on it



Now is when it got interesting, the reassembly

As you can see in the pics the wiring harness is a bit of a rats nest, so after some untangling and sorting wires out its now 100% better





Starting to add some more parts

Wow, you weren't kidding about "cleaning up". I'd love to have a cleaner engine bay but not to the point that I'd pull the motor! Good work.

I got the car just to tinker with. I've never owned one and I thought the best way to learn the car was to take it all apart . So thats what I did .

I'm curious how you guys figure out where all the wires go when you reassemble? I use masking tape and a marker to label all of my connections. How do you do it?
