6/10 Update - Still Prepping
Well things are progressing ever so slowly. With having been sick and travelling for business (again and again and again), I'm still in the process of prepping the engine bay for a re-spray. I did this once already (a year ago) and had forgotten how badly this process sucked. That said, a word to the wise....don't EVER use spray paint to paint your engine bay. This was obviously inexperience -slash- brain fart on my part, but spray paint will not stand up to the harsh [chemical/dirty/hot] environment of an engine bay. This time around, I'll be painting it properly using the same paint that was applied to the exterior of the car, an actual automotive finish.
Once the under hood paint is complete, fabrication of the radiator and intercooler mounts will commence.
Here's a pic just to illustrate the progress (or lack there of). Unfortunately, the prep work (sanding, grinding, etc) isn't at all obvious.
