Metal fabrication, engine bay work

Took an hour lunch and painted the engine bay. Not completely, just where it was rusting. I'd previously wire brushed and coated it with Metal Ready. It's all patchy and looks terrible, but it shouldn't rust anymore.



After lunch I checked out the local speed shop on route home. The guy behind the counter didn't know what vacuum lines were. So on I went.

Took off the timing belt pulleys. I'm going to spray them in Metal Ready, but not POR-15.


My timing belt tensioner shows wear so I'm going to replace it, or at least compare it to a new one. The belt itself shows very little wear, indicating the motor may not have that many miles on it.

I saved the grommets from the door wiring. Should keep the drafts down a bit. I then went on to fabricate a lot of metal patches for the passenger side of the car.
