Epic update time! I did some dismantling today at work.

 

Decided to take one last pic before the car lost all it's dignity

After couple of hours of carefully removing connectors (as I'll be saving the harness and ecu and efi junk) and ripping all the hose connections it was time to rip out the goods

And here's what we ended up with, a 4x4 looking 280 and a grimy but otherwise very nice L28

I had some free time before I have to start work today so I got some stuff done.

 

Got the motor on a stand in all it's grimy goodness

Decided to paint the valve cover purple, along with the motor when it's cleaned up.

It's apperently indigo.... Right, that's blue. Anyways yes, I rattle canned it myself, it's actually crappier than it looks, but paint wasn't dried or even yet, might need another coat. Much easier on the eyes than black primer, wanted to chuck Norris it every time I looked at it lol. But yeah, motor should be ready soon, need to order gaskets, new clutch, some lines, a fuel pump and regulator and we should be ready to fire up.
