pulled engine going to be sanding down and repainting. I don't know what color to go with, satin black? OR the body color?

Suede headliner installed. This took forever to get done, During the install process I put some closed cell foam to block some road noise.

Engine in its new home as of now. Thanks for letting me use my old engine stand Prove_it (Ryan)

Coming out!

Harness rewrapped and partially tucked, I spent a lot of time on this as well. I used silicone tape and its AMAZING. Also removed a lot of the un-needed wiring.

Front harness waiting for the same treatment as the engine harness. This is actually done now, removed ECS, ABS wiring.
