Thanks Mike.... I have not come close *knock on wood* from falling into the pit. There are boards that fit perfectly in the grooves that I can slide back and forth. I am 5'6 and the pit is a little over 5' deep so its perfect for my height. How deep was your fall? I have never and hope never fallen through a floor as a fire fighter.

I have about 5 days worth of pictures for updates. The only problem is that I have not uploaded them to imageshack. Also keep your eye on page 1 because I will be editting that page daily and you can track my progress. It will be about a week before I am caught up on the pictures.

The goal of the project is to have one of the cleaniest polished evo engine bays. The overall project is going to be a jdm influenced dark subtle exterior and interior with an eye catching polished engine bay.

Thanks Matt. Keep checking out page 1 for updates on the tips/problems/progress because I will be updating it daily. Stay tuned for pictures on underbrace removal and downpipe removal to prep for the new turbo kit.

I can't take credit for the pit.... It was there before I started to rent out the garage.

Thanks bro. I know you are going to agree with me on this.. The EVO is 1000 times easier to work on than a VW. And the best part is that everything always lines up with no fabrication.
