Nice progress. I would have removed all stuff from the engine compartment before spraying it instead of masking. But I guess there was a reason for doing it this way.

Will you put the OEM engine back in or do an upgrade?

It would look way better removed and masked, but I decided to cut corner in that stage. I will have OM617A in there. So it its slightly upgraded engine.

Little more progress in the last few weeks. Complete service of the front axle. New springs and shocks.

Hulinam: Were you able to fit a military center tunnel "pad" under the center tunnel console? I think I thought I saw you do that that somewhere, before the sound mat and carpet installation.
