what color are you gonna spray it and why are you going with a manual rack?
UPDATE:
Going to be out of town all week so I figure I put some time in. Pulled the subframe so I can properly prep the engine bay and remove the evap emissions tube, and remove the old fuel lines and convert the steering rack to a "manual rack". Once I got the whole subframe out I took the suspension off of it aside from the sway bar and the lower control arms. Going to pull the tank when I get back and will decide on if I am going to keep the stock tank and Walbro or beef it up. I know for sure I want to run a -8 or -10 feed and a -8 return.
Anyways heres some pics for some good measure.
While its out I figured I'd clean it up too once the snow lets up.
The engine bay is ready for prep.
Leaving her like this for a week.
The motor is still at the shop, hopefully I get her back when I get back.

Jigz, if you do want to truly make the rack manual i would suggest dissasebling it and cutting some of the inner metal seals out in order to make a properly depowered rack.
Great work my dude, keep it up.

Now that is what I call a comeback!
Little bit of progress.
Used some "rust performer" on the engine bay and firewall. Snaded it all down and grinded down all the surface rust I could get to and sprayed that shit on liberally. Im pretty impressed the metal looks awesome.
This was an "Instagram Exclusive" photo. But My Galant brothers need to have it as well. Still gotta finish snading and smoothing out the drivers apron. Should be able to finish that up today.
Also got the motor back to the house. Machined, assembled, and with a new oil pump!!! Just waiting on some ARP lube before I can permanently mate them. Heads got the HKS cams, Fidanza cam gears, and Kelford valve springs installed. Also used ARP mains and ARP bolts for the rods came with the Manleys.
Safe to say I am excited and I am making sure I am working on the car atleast an hour a day.
Well, thats it for now. Tune in for more.
Keeping the balance shafts?

It's not about the intervals though. I replaced my belts when I bought the car. 40k miles later guess what happened?? Balance shaft belt snapped and tangled up my timing belt and caused that to snap. Avoid such a failure on a built block. It's just so much safer. That's my opinion.

Ugh that motor looks gorgeous already. meh balance shafts are a letter of opinion. Built evo motors have kept em just fine. I left mine in. Decided not to leave it. Never had a problem ever

Motor and bay are lookn clean
Got most of the motor back together. Cleaning up the bolts so I can polish them. Also waiting on an OFH gasket, and a someone to sand blast the water pipe.
Clearance looks promising. Mind you, I am on a half radiator so the forward clearance is no issue.
Picture of the whole thing.
Also ordered the Quaiffe, diff bearing, and the speedo gear.
Safe to say, we are moving along.
