WOOT! motor is O-U-T! do NOT wanna do that for a while. Might just slam it on the Si's for a lil and wait to build a block and head. Anyway...my arms look like an emo had a field day with them, my feet hurt, and I'm pretty angry. But the motor is out. I might take a day or two off. Maybe tomorrow ill finish pulling my gauges and pull the ECU and paint the stuff I want to...no, that sounds like a two day job. Pics in the AM

Here's the actual motor pulling pics
So after getting most of the mount bolts out...We figured out that because I didn't have enough chain to wrap around the intake manifold, just that little bit of weight was tilting the motor backwards...sooooooooooo extension cord to the rescue! and yes...it worked.
Profit!

so i found out that I need high temp paint for the intercooler...shoulda figured. Anyway, I decided to go ahead and paint my hood latch (if you look in my sig, the hood latch and 2 bolts holding the intercooler on are visible(and the bolts will be painted too)) also decided to paint my wipers, and the batter tray and the battery mount. There's a lot of other things that need done as well, just not today. I ended up prepping for 2 hrs and then 2 coats of primer on everything. So I just put the first coat of paint on.

Well here are the pics from painting. Like i said in the post before this, lotta time went into prep work and primering.
Simple Green and water
Wire brushed and ready for primer
This is how my wipers looked before stripping the car
This stuff burned so bad when it got on your skin.
MMMM smooth
