Default Help, I need a cure.

While I have my block at the machine shop, I thought that I would clean up under the hood. It started with just spraying the fender well and then I deceided to do the firewall. To do the firewall, I needed to pull the WS wiper motor, and the wirelooms and the hood release cable. Now I have pulled the hood release mechinisms to spray them, while i was doing that I thought what it would take to pull the brake booster and master cyl to spray them. HELP MAKE ME STOP :crazy: Next will be the steering box.. I need help :jester

I started to do the same thing. If you don't want to start a gound up restoration just start masking off a lot and don't pul off too many things.
Masking tape and old news papers are will slow down the restoration and hopefully you will have the engine ready to drop in before the entire car is diassembled.
