Spent some time last night in the garage and was able to get the old front to rear brake line out. Went to install the new line and saw the front end flare was boogered up pretty good so that ended that project for the night. Supplier sending a new one out today.
I was able to get the wheel wells, lower firewall, and front suspension cleaned up using Simple Green sprayed directly on the components and then a warm water wipe down and rinse with a rag followed by a towel dry. I will spray some Boeshield on everything and then get some pics to post. So far pretty happy with how it looks prior to the Boeshield. I am resisting the urge to blow the control arms and related off for a full repaint but I know that will snowball into taking the front end completely apart and don't want to go there......
Speaking of scope creep...........I got some progress pics of the air cleaner assembly from the paint guy. Afraid to get the bill on that but it will look way nicer than it did. Will also do the fan shroud and radiator - and touch up the core support, and new valve cover decals......and that's it....
I ordered a windshield washer pump repair kit to make a run at getting that fixed in hopes I don't have to send it out as the wiper function works fine, just not the pump.
