Man I can't wait to start the work on my own car. Your picture of what looks like a little child trapped underneath the car you just ran him over with inspires me.

Its not a new firewall but I got it from my font clip and put in the whole firewall in so that way my windshield wipers would be on the right side!

ok heres an update guys! i painted my engine bay and roof black....also i started to put things back into the car like my brake booster, clutch master cylinder, and i custom bent my brake lines and i ran the new passenger side brake line along the crossmember. Then i went to summit racing and bought a steel braided brake line to run my clutch but thats as far as i got..but im going to have some new pics this weekend!

perfectionist? it might just be the angle of the picture, but i think your brake master cylinder is a little tilted

looking good, is that sparkles in the paint or just trash? You should have worked on that motor a little before you dropped it in. I wouldnt consider you a perfectionist as me, but clean whip.

Looks like particulate matter from sanding or something...

You should lightly sand that and let the air calm down a bit before hitting the surface with another few coats.

..and what should i have done to get the motor ready? i changed crank main seal gasket..installed my six puck clutch...and my resurfaced flywheel ...and also i installed my turbo elbow before i dropped it in! i mean what else should i have done? oh and on how to paint a car i've painted cars for along time but thats all wax bro it will come right off...but thanks for thanks for you info and comments bro!

you know what it might be...now that you pointed it out!...but i had to use a stock usdm one for the reason that the clip that i got didn't have it...but its ok now at least if something ever goes wrong i could always just go to a parts store and pick one up! but thanks guys for all you comments
