i had the whole drive train out, and was looking at rust. THen i decided screw it might as well just paint the whole car! (there was rust on the 1/4'rs, piller, door hinges were rusted through, and the engine bay had some bad stuff)
THe engine actually toasted itself before i took it apart due to a lean condition in a couple of cylindars
