Continuing....I ditched the windshield wiper motor because I don't even have wipers so I made a little closeout panel to cover the hole. I made an MDF template than just used a copy bit on my router to transfer it to aluminum. It's nothing real special but I'm slowly becoming more adventurous and trying new things.
I decided it was finally time for an engine bay overhaul. I bought a March serpentine kit from MCB and cleaned everything up before installing it. I started by smoothing and painting my alternator and power steering pump.

I couldn't get myself to buy the $200 braided power steering pump hoses so I ended up searching all around town for parts and I have to say I was shocked at how unhelpful and disinterested my local auto parts stores were to help me out. So I took it upon myself and bought a few universal kits online and rigged them together to get a functioning power steering pump. It's not the prettiest set up but it works for now.
