I started working on it yesterday around 4 p.m. and worked on it until 4am when i got pissed off and went to bed. Then I woke up this morning around 11 and got it out. When I took the resonator off it was completely full of coolant! I decided I am just going to do the head gaskets and head studs on this motor instead of swapping in my spare motor(unsure if it works). I also have new motor mounts, a fenco clutch and a set of 94/95 sc manifolds that are going on it. Hopefully I will see you guys at the May meet.

The other day I took the fenders and bumper off to check out the rust issue and found:

Keep in mind the inner fender was covered with over and inch of bondo and painted black to hide it. I was looking at it and i was like hmm the paint is cracking right here and the more i looked at it I saw sanding scratches so I hit it with a hammer and a bunch of bondo flaked off.
