Im cleaning up the engine bay while waiting to get my center diff back from Bean @ Turbotrix who is welding it solid. The mat on the firewall was removed as well as a bunch of brackets and bolts that weren't doing anything. The intake manifold brake, AC compressor bracket, washer bottle are all gone. Removing the pvc valve to run a 2 line catch can. Im planing to move the battery to the steering rack subframe. I'm going through many cans of cleaner and shop rags cleaning up oil & dirt all over the place. Im fixing some oil leaks as well: New valve cover gaskets, turbo oil return line gaskets, and cas oring,
The car has really no rust at all on the chassis or body. I'm really happy with the purchase, and feel a bit better about doing a significant amount of work on the car. I'v heard through the grapevine that this was a virgina car for most of it's life, explaining the lack of rust. That nasty 3bolt rear is one of the first things I intend to upgrade..
All Wheel Steering lines were removed. There was some power steering fluid leaking around the rack, so a swap to a 1g rack may be in the future.
