ok here are some beginning pics:

Motor getting ready for removal.
Note the second pic on the driver side frame rail from where the battery sits.hard to get to area to keep clean. Well I will have to clean that up before the motor goes back in.

pictures of motor out and the frame rails painted in a black bed liner coating to help with rust/scratches. There was a seem that I followed to keep it uniform on both sides.

Time to replace every water hose under the hood (those that I will be keeping) all gaskets, studs/nuts on turbos and some other small odds and ends. Ray at Mazda sent me a box of goodies for almost $700 needed to do this work.

Here are some before pictures once the turbos were pulled off. See all the cracks and where the gasket sits. Now to basically gasket match the turbos and that will help with some cracks. The others will have to be welded.
