Message	:Started tearing stuff out last night, got the itch to take some pics tonight. :Started off the evening at this point : :Started progressing : : :Got it stripped down for the most part : :Now the cleaning process starts. I vaccumed out where I did the grinding on the battery tray, and sprayed it down with simple green : :Opposite dirty side : :After cleaning you can see where the brake fluid was eating the paint : :The first step of cleaning is finished : :I'm now going to borrow my dads power washer and really get all the hidden grime off of it, then let the fun begin :PS - Is there an easy way to get the wiring harness for the body out of the way, or remove it? Am i just going to have to paint around it? :Thanks The wiring harness needs to be covered unless you want to disconnect the whole harness. And then paint around it. Not that difficult. Its worth the extra effort. Regards, CMYZ
