ok ok its been a while... but here's a few pics of some of the parts i painted this week, the going has been slow, because of all the repairs i had to do to my new daily driver... but all that's left with that is dropping the trans. and replacing the torque converter... and then hopefully the repairs are done anyway back to the Mazda... here's the pics.
sorry for the crappy pics... it was bad lighting in the garage tonight.
here's the tension rods painted
the front oil pan cross member painted
and here's the part i like the best... i made a cover plate for the rear section of the air tank to harness all the electrical lines for the valves
