Looking good. My motor is coming out today. I would like to do the same. But I have intentions of painting the car a different color then what it is now, at the end of the year. So I'm undicided about painting it but at the same time I don't want to pull the motor when I paint the car. I would like it to match.

if you are changing the colour of the car at the end of the year, then most definitely paint it to match what it id going to be at that time. why pull the motor if you don't have to again!

started untaping the harness.
