Don,t save engine bat for later?Your this far,keep going and do it all!You,ll regret not doing the full pull!Might as well!It,ll all be fresh?

I have debated pulling everything out, but I just don't know yet. After all I went through just to get the engine, headers, 5-speed, hydraulic clutch, radiator, suspension etc etc into the car I really want to drive the car. It would be heart breaking to redo all that over again even though I know it is the best decision, but it already has paint in the engine bay as of right now. I kinda want it as a reminder of how shitty the previous painter's work was compared to mine. Painting the eingine bay later is not that big of a deal since there won't be any tape lines you can actually see.

This is how the engine bay looks now but I know the paint will not last. If I do pull everything out I want to finish all the body work first. I will be crossing that road next month. This would set me back another month probably which is okay, but i want to drive this summer. We'll see how it goes. I can licve with it for now.:sad7:

Some differences now like Firecore Wires and a shorter K&N fliter with the same color element as the lid.
