On Wednesday I brought a few parts in to school to sand blast. These are the battery hold downs that are bolted to the trunk floor.

I didn't get a lot done in that lab because when I mounted the engine to the stand the first time around I accidentally mounted the lower arms through the oil pan. Didn't even notice that until I went to take the pan off.... So I had to change the arms and threads they would go into. I also spent quite a bit of time blueprinting a block that my teacher wanted done. After all that was said and done I was able to remove the Oil pan, pick up tube and windage tray to reveal the main caps.

I didn't touch the car yesterday. I actually did some maintenance on the Integra. Oil change and a new wheel bearing. Still waiting on the last wheel bearing to come in.
After work today I did more work to the trunk.

All I'm doing in the mean time is grinding surface rust off and covering it up with a rust paint. Nothing special, I just need to cover the bare metal so that it won't rust again between now and when the car gets stripped down, primed and painted.
