I guess i'll update this thread.
Painted the engine bay
Cut the hole in the engine bay for the harness, got rest of the harness and engine harness in.
Dashboard is in
Went to the Junkyard today with Cody, scored the good condition Westy setup(core support, headlights, and grille, A bunch of interior bits and pieces, full twead door cards, decent black carpet, decent rain tray, a steering wheel, a gauge cluster, door handles, quarter flares, and some kinda rare door handle protector things.
Cleaned the trans then power washed it.
Then i painted it
A bunch of trim pieces i got from the junkyard.
Lower dash piece i got in good condition
ICM heat sink i got from the junkyard too.

Update time!
Motor tore down for parts to be cleaned and painted and a new timing belt.
Hard to tell, but i black splattered the cam and intermediate shaft gears. Also Purple splattered the gun metal motor mounts.

Pulled it out of the garage, got it all ready to start and it wouldn't start. Went through a bunch of **** to figure stuff out. It would try to start but wouldn't. Tomorrow we're going to change the MAF, check the fuel pressure and re do the timing again. It's so close to being done!! :wall:
