block, she's dirty alright. the coolant seems to have caused the carbon on the pistons to flake up???

Updates Jan 15 of the year of our lord two thousand and five: engine all apart and crank was ruined from spun bearing. got another. interior and dash all out and shell prep mostly completed. scrapping seal sealer is the worst part of this project. even chipping the tar away in -20 weather was better.
engine bay passenger wheel well.

interior. im not sure what is gonna happen to it. i certainly dont need it. for sellie maybe?
you'll notice all the excess wiring i pulled out of the car from the last owners stereo. i really dont need 2 sets of useless snipped rca's or miles of speaker wire to the rear of my rally car do i?

Update Feb 07/08 2005: got the crank in. such a change to be in a situation where cleanliness is so important. not at all like scrapping sealant.
