With the car now at our house, my thinking is that I’ll get the car running and safe to drive, so that Liz and the kids can enjoy it before the summer is over. The engine is nearing completion, and really, all I need to do is drop it in and start it up…well hopefully. I had a few hours before work, so I figured I’d work on getting the engine compartment cleaned up before I dropped the engine back in; so I grabbed some simple green from Home Depot and fired up the Kartcher pressure washer. It was at this point, that all hell broke loose. Seems the last paint job wasn’t properly prepared, and the Kartcher made quick work of stripping large. random, sections of paint off.

DAMN, the kids aren’t gonna love this…

maybe they won’t notice.
