I'm about to start on a new roller. Engine/trans out and I'll be using a lot of body filler and painting with spray paint. Sebring silver.

I'd start by relocating everything. Wire mod, relocate TCS behind PCM, driver side harness wire mod under strut tower (but you'd have to undo the connector on the firewall and under the dash to get the harness apart), HVAC box delete at least the portion in the firewall to get rid of A/C. Looks so much better already!

Geez...I am in the the middle of a convsersion project. Now i feel obligated to clean up the engine bay. This project is seem to be never ending. just when i think i am ready to drop the engine back in something comes along. And now it's the engine bay (which really needs it). I guess i am ahead of game with the engine already out. What intimidates me is the rest of the stuff so...any how to tips would be great. I should probable take the front fascia off but...

I repainted mine again, only black this time. This time around I shaved & filled all the ground wires, extra holes, & most of the pinch welds & seams on the fender wells. Still with the engine in place.
