Thanks! As a matter of fact, I began cleaning out the engine bay last night with Simple Green. I'll be painting the bay, since the factory paint is peeling off in some areas, and the 'frame rail' on the passenger was stripped of paint and allowed to rust due to a leak at the master cylinder. I definitely have to clean it thoroughly before the paint process can begine, though.
I'll take a few more pics of random stuff today and post a few up.
In fact, I have a mini-update of sorts:
I 'detailed' the gas cap area a couple days ago. It's surprising how filthy it can get in there.
I didn't think to take a before pic, but here it is now. It's not 100% spotless, but it's way better than it was before:
Here's my artist's depiction of what it looked like before:
I also dislike this gas cap. It's an aftermarket one, someone must have drove off with the original one sitting on the fender one day. I'll grab the OEM one off that FC in the junkyard next time I'm there.
