Day 4
-finished up the cleaning, treating and sealing of the rust under the battery tray with Por 15. I plan on painting the whole engine next week to make it look better, kinda funny having a multi colored engine bay.
-properly mounted/found a way to make the STI rear sway mounts/Cusco sway bar and whiteline bushings to work on the GC. ***** I made it work and it is cherry.
-removed front bumper and lip to sell off of the STI.
-removed FMIC off of STI to sell, going back to TMIC. APS to be specific.

Interesting way of dropping the engine. How are you putting back the support beams and such? Welding?

From what I gathered, he cut the radiator support on the sti. Not the gc. So there won't be any need to put it back.
