Been working the last month or so cleaning up a 89 TII engine that I'm putting in a "roller" Daytona. Boy did I ever underestimate how much work it would be make it presentable. Wire brush parts, clean parts with brake cleaner, primer parts, then paint. Every bolt and fitting that I could remove, I did. I've got a newfound respect for you guys that have restored a whole car!
Anyhow here are some pics of things so far...more to come as I go.

Damn dude! That looks nice! You gunna help me make my my Neon's engine that sexy when it gets pulled?
LOL I got a bench grinder with a wire wheel you can use! You wouldn't believe how long it took to get the crap off some of this stuff, plus wire brushing every single bolt, etc, etc...

Heh, I'd go the easy way out and probably just buy new bolts
Still, it looks nice. Shame you're doing all that just to unload the car... that's going to be a nice ride you might want to hold onto...
Lookin good Paul!

Looks great Paul!
Keep the pics coming
Nice! Pics of the roller? Is it as pristine as the engine bay is going to be??
Thanks guys...I'm not sure if I'd call any of this pristine, but it should be relatively presentable.
In September I traded my CSXT for this and hauled it back from Ohio. Hope to have it together and sold before the snow flies.

Looks good man!
Looks amazing Paul! Excellent work
Paul, that is looking great. I love the Daytona, perfect color combo AND T-TOPS!
Question, is the orange hose with crimped ends the oil feed line for the turbo?
the thing is turning out amazingOne million dollars! We'll see how things go, but it should be plenty affordable
i cant wait to see it in person
thank you for all the work put in
yeah they are and they are orange from the factory like thatPaul, that is looking great. I love the Daytona, perfect color combo AND T-TOPS!
Question, is the orange hose with crimped ends the oil feed line for the turbo?
doesn't that look strange?
Thanks guys
Good question...if you look at the front of the engine, there are two lines that wrap around the head and run towards the turbo. The small one coming from oil distribution block is the [get this] oil feed line, and the larger one coming from the head is the coolant feed line. On the back of the engine, the large orange crimped hose is the coolant return, and shorter orange hose underneath the turbo with the worm clamp is the oil return. It dumps back through the tube in the block and into the oil pan.
