Okay. Trying to do some updates. I'll get back to where I left off previously soon. So I pulled out motor again because I wanted to clean up and polish the engine bay. It was looking raggedy to me. I cleaned and scrubbed pretty hard. Then I proceeded to hand polish engine bay. In the beginning, it was looking like I was getting somewhere but after a few days I got tired. I could not polish this turd of an engine bay.
I had a go to place for sandblasting. I went and got a quote(price increase of course) and that did not pan out. What can you do... So I was able to get my hands on a gas air compressor that pumped out enough cfms to get the job done. It took about 3 days(around 3-4 hours each day). I was constantly having issues with the Harbor Freight spot blaster that I purchased(this made everything take longer until I figured why I was having issues). It took another few days to do the front sheet metal pieces. I had to construct a make shift outdoor blasting area out of some 2x4s and plastic sheeting.
This is the result.
Make shift blasting tent
I went ahead and welded the underside of my patch panel(had plenty of room)
Epoxy primer time
