PROGRESS:

Moved my washer bottle to the back today.

actually, I just ran a hose to the one in the rear. then I threw out the one from the front. 

before I finally decided not to replace my rear wiper, I had purchased a two-way washer pump from GAP. I had intended to rework the wiring so the switch worked the pump both ways. but since I no longer have a rear wiper, I no longer need the rear washer jet. so I just swapped the pumps single output over to the new hose. 

I ran the hose through the body to the hole under the rear seat, then over to the middle and up through the center. I ran up up behind the dash, and then out through an already drilled hole into the rain tray on the drivers side. the washer jets in the hood have a tube coming out of them that actually points toward the drivers side, opposite of the washer bottle locations. now where I have the hose coming out is actually a better spot for them. 

the megasquirt project is well under way. I have been keeping a separate thread for that, but I will be posting some stuff in here as that progresses.

to sum up, I have pulled the motor, and I am in the process of shaving the engine bay. I am hoping my father can get a free weekend to help me paint it. 

as it stands, every single wire under the hood and into the fuse box has been pulled. it is all sitting in a pile on the floor of my garage.


Since I am shaving the bay, I want all the wiring hidden and I will be making an entire new wiring harness for it. should be rrreally fun.

got the motor out to make way for the freshly rebuild 2.0 block.


cleaned it up a bit, but still got a long way to go.


I will be relocating my battery to the back, and replacing my coolant bottle and PS tank with nice new aluminum Canton performance bottles. (240$ worth)

its getting ridiculous how much money I am spending on this..  

anyway. here is me.
