Cheap Hoses. Better than old hoses. Should hold me off for a while. Add some pretty to the engine bay too

New hoses. Which don’t smell like anything by the way.... 5 layers if you count the gloss blue and internal light blue layers. I think they’ll work just fine

Old hoses are swollen and soft. You can see multiple clamp marks. I’m sure they’re just about toast.

They’re gonna look sweet IMO. As long as they fit right up, which they look to, I’m happy.

Sub-harness came in also. Looks good. Each pin is labeled. I’ll test it with a meter for kicks and peace of mind. Also picked up a set of Duralast Spark Plug wires. I’ll be going with NGK Plugs. But didn’t pick them up today to break the expenses at Autozone into a low as possible, but above $20 to get the credit points. I’m at 3 Of 5. Next purchase will be break in Oil + Filter and thread locker, after that coolant, MTF, spark plugs.

Old 72hp (in its prime) D15b8. Oily mess. The drain bolt is stripped round beyond removal. I wasn’t going to mess with it too much.

Spent a little time cleaning the engine bay today. No paint, no tucking... just a moderate clean and prep.

Cleaning up on messy and hacked harness. Soldered of course. I picked up some stuff to clean it all up today... more heat shrink, loom, zip ties, black tape... Also done today: -Cleaned inside trans bell -Broke drivers side mount loose finally (penetrating oil and heat). Then cleaned and then painted and then installed new mount -separated old engine and trans and stole all the bolts I needed. - wire brushed and cleaned all hardware -installed flywheel with locktite at 87ftlbs

I know it’s (still) a nest. My goal wasn’t a “tuck”. But it’s been CLEANED reloomed taped and reinstalled. I added a little extra close to connectors knowing they’re getting brittle.

Late night pic: just got about as far as I could. Need to fill trans with oil. Haven’t decided yet. Maybe Honda MTF, or el cheapo 10w30 to “flush it” and change it at 500 with the engine.

Back on the ground after MONTHS. Oils in. Primed engine with ECU fuse pulled till the battery toasted. Charged it up all afternoon while I worked on my Jeep. Cranked over after a few tries! She’s running! The exhaust is rattling bad partly due to the motor mounts. Most of it is undoubtedly caused by the duct tape holding it in place. Considering ordering a catback and replacing the muffler with an oval DC sports/vibrant knock off. Did this on my EP3 and it was a nice sound.
