Hi, Guest
After a lot of frustration with a stripped sub frame bolt (lots of torching and grinding), I managed to remove my old and decrepit front sub frame to replace with a nice and shiny newish SVT one from GFXJamie.
Since the sub frames out I lowered the motor and removed all the padding, rubber stuff and rust from the firewall and surrounding area. Also removed all mounting spots for coolant reservoir, power steering reservoir, all the things on the plastic above...so and so forth to shave the engine bay. After a solid coat of primer its starting to look normal again! and superclean!

There are some spots I need to fill in but for the most part its coming along nice. Color is still to be determined. any suggestions!?!? Also, I still need to get the fire wall padding behind the brake booster off still. thinking of just removing it all together but im not sure yet.
