Heres a pic of the trunk well after prep and herculiner applied....got the viair 480 c pumps mounted as well as the tank....the shiny spots are ones from me just touching up the herculiner.....may put another coat on once the rest of the system layout is installed.......had a bummer thing happen to day tho , had a main bolt break in the block today on final torque......so...i came up with a plan to drill and remove it without taking the whole thing apart again....wish me luck on that.....take some pics of that when i get to it ....kinda got the wind knocked out of my sails today when that happened....

Short Block
Finally got back into getting the short block done...wrapped the whole motor in plastic front to back and end to end....just cut a small hole where the bolt needed to be removed.....taped that area off..several times.....then i was comfortable to go ahead and drill out the bolt to get a easy out into it... i used my telescopic magnet to keep getting the shavings out during drilling....didnt have to drill much which was nice....ended up using this cheap little gasmo called "Grab Bitz" which you just put in your drill and put drill in reverse....worked great...walked the broken bolt piece right out....flushed the area with wd-40 to get out any last bit of shavings.....then carefully cut the plastic and pulled it off the motor....so..now I am back to getting motor done and get it into that car....

Love that herculiner..it is the brushable stuff out of the can.one coat usually does it and puts on a nice undercoat base....i plan on doing the inside of the floor pans with it as well once the interior is removed.....
