Default day 1 of build

Well this is really directed to all the people I have been bugging for the last 4 or so months. I am finally back from Iraq, and have been home for 2 days now. I started the hopefully not so long process of redoing my car. Today was removal of motor and auto trans...got far enough to do a little engine bay cleaning...really doesnt need much. Heres the progress so far.

Thats a pretty clean engine bay already, just hide some of that wiring and get rid of the Smog and A/C you will have a Beautiful bay!
