Teardown 12 / Cleaning Part 1
My dad came out to visit and it so happened to coincide with my roommate actually being home and she has been itching to help do something on the car. So what better activity than have them do the stuff I did plenty of on [USER=18194]@Honcho[/USER]'s car and didn't want to do again...clean!
While they were cleaning I crawled into the car and carefully removed all of the sound deadening material from the firewall. It's POUNDS of dead weight, yes it will be louder, no I don't care *insert grin*
Here are some before pictures of some of the parts:

Armed with some simple green aluminum, 50/50 rubbing alcohol/water, and some degreaser they did an AMAZING job!

And my roommate KILLED it with the simple green and the subframe components. She's back out of town for work now but will finish when she gets back. She was meticulous and determined to make it gleam, I only wish I had before pictures:

And the firewall sans material:

You'll also notice the ECU is missing, it's in the trusting hands of [USER=33247]@MotorMouth93[/USER] having the Demon II chip installed and refreshing all the other bits inside.
