Just finished taking the engine out. There was oil coming from
every possible place on the engine so this was a messy job.
Found lots of wiring that had been “repaired” by the
PO. It looks like I will need to build/buy a new wiring harness
for the engine bay. Found several frame cracks near the left
motor mount and on the left motor mount. The original exhaust
system was still on the car. Everything is in remarkably good
shape except for the little muffler near the exhaust manifold.
This has a crack on the bottom where the pipe is joined to the
muffler. If I plan on keeping the stock exhaust this looks like
it can be repaired if necessary
