Thanks from everyone on the nice welcome, There are a lot of anal types on this board like myshelf so this should be fun. I'll try to keep Chuck busy, but that might be tough!!
Phil, you don't have to worry about this car ever being restored, all I'm doing is taking my time and cleaning the best I can without disassembling to much. I don't even want to put a wrench to any bolts I don't have to. And trying to be careful not to loose any factory marking.
Been cleaning the last couple weeks under the car with it up on a hoist, Lowered the trans so I could clean the tunnel top of the trans and bellhousing along with documenting the backside of the engine. Remember I haven't touched a can of paint and don't plan on it, this is just cleaning with various cleaners and brushs.
Few things to note in the pics, the O on the right head it's on the top of the orange and the X on the left head is under the paint (very interesting). The super heavy paint along the top of the bellhousing with runs all the way to the trans. The clip holding the TCS wire, top left trans bolt.
Greg, Not sure if your the one that see's the 6000 mile engine in the post but I would love to know the VIN off the pad down by the oil filter.
Phil, would love to know the rust on top of the radiator plate quiz, mine has plenty, also has something writen on it that looks like the word SMOG.
Sorry so long,
Jack
