figured our thread needed a bump
here is my engine bay after pulling everything then reinstalling it cleaned and painted.
Takes a long time and is boring work but I feel it was worth it.

The car is in very good condition. I think a grandma used to own it, would explain the motor going from carbon build up. Only flaw I saw was a bare wire on the emission harness. I am buying a running motor from robert and a rebuilt kit from matt's friend in the next few weeks. I will wish I could afford to do more to the engine other than a street port but costs go up dramatically with all the needed supporting mods.
Looking forward to driving a rotary again and it should be very reliable. Tomorrows task is rebuilding the ac system with the parts I received today.

I've been focused on school, got 2 classes that will be absolute hell for the next 2 weeks.

I'm also working on our Baja SAE vehicle 3 times a week to get it ready for testing in spring. I'm testing for Black Belt this summer, so I'm training everyday for that as well.
