Thanks! I need all the motivation I can get! I've had the car for over 10 years and and its come a long way...the hard way. Had a few people do work on it thinking that I had more time than money and a lot of that money was wasted. Including threatening legal action to get it back at one point. The mechanic I have working on it is a friend of mine that comes over on the side to help with it. He is probably the only reason its not LS, just because I know them well.

So I woke up this morning with the intention of cleaning up the garage and my ADD kicked in and cleaning did not seem like fun on fathers day! So I started degreasing engine bay. Again seeing wiring that I spent a fortune to have done looking like ass I might be trying some rattle can love with it, Its amazing how trashed it gets just sitting in shops and garages

Cleaned up OK but am going to start looking at scuffing it up for paint and doing something with the wiring..Probably going to add Vintage air to the list of to do. Seems like a no brainer when the engine is out.
