to remove the MC on the 86 its not too hard.
remove the cross brace the top aircleaner and intake tubes,
then the left side intake plenum,
then the power booster hose from the booster,
then its 1 wire connection at the reservoir,
then 2 13mm nuts and then 2 hose connections .
Should take about 30 mins to get it out keep some rags under the MC so the fluid wont drip all over the engine or fender wells

Looks better and better! But I wonder why you don't have that grey front bumper cover sprayed, rather than cutting the old one... Why does an 86 even have a bumper cover without the cut-outs?

I borrowed the bumper from Josh who lives up the street to use as a template for the S cutouts

a bit more done rehabbed the washer tank and washer pump, removed the metal collars and fitted the washer pump and one of Nicoles Y fittings,
Also got to inspecting the belt run, it needs a new T belt it had oil all over it, and WP bearing spun to freely and made a slight rumble, so thats getting done.
The oil pump was glued into the block with loctite 574 , who does this kind of work??

I see some dirt on the AC compressor, Stan! You really need to clean-up better 
No, srsly - you are doing an amazing job. Thanks for documenting it here!

Oh yeah! Looking good. This great for me to see. It's jogging my head for all the other little stuff I have to tackle. Just curious, what plastic do you use tonreseal the doors and do you just adhere with contact cement? Seen a lot of hack jobs but loctite on the oil pump takes the cake. Can't wait to see this unit rolling. Cheers!

the door vapor barriers are easy,
go to the dollar store and buy a hi quality shower curtain in clear for one dollar, then use the weldwood contact cement to glue in the drip panels then cover the whole door with a bigger sheet.
