Since I had the plate installed in my left forearm, and the Dr. told me on the 17th of Dec. to start doing a few things with that arm, i have stripped all of the wiring/tinwork off of my engine and cleaned it all up. It is slow progress, but at least it is progress !! I didnt get a pic of the engine tonight, but as of now it has the cooling fan and most of the tinwork back on it !! IF I get the pieces that I have ordered from the bird and 914rubber, then this thing may go back in this weekend, and may actuallu run next weekend !!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

The engine was not taken apart other than the rocker arm covers and push rod tubes. We spent about 2 hours with some degreaser and a steam cleaner ... not just a hot water washer, but an actual steamer. It got the crud off and the case was discolored and stained so I shot it with DupliColor Aluminum engine paint. It has really turned out looking better than I was expecting it to !! This one didnt get torn apart because it is going in the project as a test mule until I get enough time and $$$$ to rebuild the 2.0 that is in my parts car. This one is just a 1.7.... and I have had it running after I stripped the car down !! If it lasts, fine ... If it doesnt, then that will be more reason to get the 2.0 built !!! Thanks for the compliments and more pics will follow ......
