    I didn't do the coloring, a female friend was there and she took the time to color them.

      Diff that leaked a crap load of gear oil?!
      Bam, Fixed, replaced the input shaft seal and the little cover platy guy. Spins nice and easy, and hasn't leaked at all yet! That is in the car now.

      Kapow! Seam sealer! I spent a lot of time with this stuff, and it ended up looking really darn good in my opinion!

      Today I went and got my paint made up for the engine bay, bought all of the necessary paint things to spray the bay, and bought some other goodies. Including but not limited to; AASCO Flywheel, Strut tower brace, Aluminum throttle bushing, and some other little crap. 
      I have hope!

        Laid a bit more seam sealer tonight, to smooth over some more edges. Received my inline air filters, and will be grabbing paint tomorrow. 
        Not sure when I will be actually spraying the bay, but it will be soon!

              I forgot to say the bay looked great before paint when I saw it in person, Great job on the seams.

                              Nope!

                              I sent out my old flywheel a month or so ago to the company that made it to see about replacing the friction disc and cleaning it up a bit. They told me the flywheel is 18 years old and would cost a bit to fix up and then offered me a great deal on a new one. Ended up buying the new one, and it doesn't work with my pressure plate. Guess they never looked at my old flywheel huh.

                              Mildly annoying.

                                Put my intake on and realized that the IX brake fuild res doesn't fit so well. Had to put the intake on without the throttle body in order to make it fit.
