You guys LOVE these threads, and so do I. Let me all introduce you to Ian Burnside. Now, let me introduce you to Ian's 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. And yes, this car has 62,000 original miles on it. Yes Miles. And here's how it sat for the winter: Throughout the next 12 hours or so, we're going to be doing a lot of work to this thing. The goal right now: Strip the engine bay of EVERYTHING to get it ready for paint. Stay tuned, subscribe to this one guys, it's going to get one hell of a transformation. Ooop... he's here, with some Timmies. Time to get working!

So I went through the pictures, and I do realize some of them lack continuity. Oh well.

Right where the seam is at the P/S Reservoir and Washer Fluid Reservoir.
The rest is surface.

My car came from Texas and it has zero rust and runs pretty dam good, so a part out would be out of the question.
To be honest I bought a house on the back roads, and it was either drive my eclipse every day or the 4-Runner, and I didn't want to use the car as my daily driver for work, but it is insured till the 24th so I'm getting my rides in well I can.
I have plans for a 2G tranny, new rear axles, drive shafts, cams, turbo and ex manifold, brakes, ect,.. so I will be keeping it forever.

Well, here's this weekend's progress. It's just about ready for paint. What's left: Mark holes to be kept and the rest to be filled in Pull the heater core Remove some of the subframe for powdercoat Car goes to paint on a flatbed next week (4th). Here's how the car sits now: I was cutting out those POS Cowls out around the fog lights, the handle of my sissors broke. Out of frustration, I threw them towards the house..... My Fiancée wasn't too pleased..... So, next week while it's at paint, the plans are to go through the harness and start pulling wires we don't need. We're also going to be relocating the fuse box into the glove compartment, so shortening of the wires and extending the rest should be fun. We've got a healthy sized box of parts to go to powdercoat as well, and we're also going to be tearing into the motor soon as well. It's got low compression, and we need to find out why. This week is going to be a bit of a slow go as I'm going to be busy as hell. The following week we're going to try and get as much done as possible, and the week after, we're both on holidays to get the motor in and the car running.

We arent painting it ourselves, we have no supplies or a place to do it. Yet. It's going to a local bodyshop where theyll be doing just the engine bay painting now.The rest of the car is going to be done later on once all the big work is done just so that nothing gets scratched.
I think im going to have them blast the inside of each front fender and have something put on it that will prevent it from rusting. It looks as if they rust from the inside out and id better fix the other one now before it gets any worse.
And clean your damned camera already, that smudge is still there!!!! You have 2 options to prevent rusting. 1- mildly blast the inside, clean it, spray Etch Primer and then gravel guard it or paint it. 2- mildly blast the inside, clean it, spray Epoxy Primer in the color of your choice and call it a day. Either options will prevent rusting. Wish I was closer, could be helping quite a bit on the painting/body stuff Don't be shy to ask any questions though.

We'll get a pic of all the parts going into the car tomorrow night. I'm in Belleville right now, so it should be interesting.
Ian, get pictures of the car being loaded up on the tow truck tonight! Get Corey's camera or yours, whatever.

Going, Going... GONE!
It's at paint right now! We'll be heading over there tomorrow night after work to get some pictures of the progress.
This week, it's motor and powdercoat time!

Working on it. More will come tomorrow. Got some pics at paint and some of the wire harness we're working on. Lots of pictures will come this weekend and next week! Edit: Ok, here's some pics at the paint booth. The bay has been blasted, and it's going to be painted probably tomorrow after some final prep.
