Well the engine didn't go in Saturday like planned while putting the bellhousing and transmission on the back of the engine the jack on the hoist started leaking and so it got put off until today, but for the first time since i have owned the car it has an engine between the fender wells. Hopefully the rest of the green will be on by the end of the week.

Glad that's done. Wet sand and buff should turn out great.
