Made quick work of the remaining disassembly

Finished painting the subframe. The SEM rust-seal seemdd to have done it's job. It left a very thin but extremely hard surface to wich I sprayed rustoleum professional enamel. I've been searching for a while to find a really strong durable rattle can paint. I read a bunch of reviews saying this stuff is very good, but limited in colors.
This is flat black. We'll see how it holds up.

Sawzalled as close to the frame/body as I could to make it easier to drill out the spot welds.

Trimmed a little more. This view makes me very excited thinking about how damn easy it will be to pull the engine in the future with the removable core support.

An odd spot collecting dirt/dust. Maybe oil leaking past that bolt?

Here's a little bit of the "coolant" (I only filled it with distilled water last time) that drained from the radiator. I collected some into the clear jug to see what it looked like. Is this any cause for concern? I am thinking it's just more residue coming from the heater core. When I drained the system ages ago for this first time with the m20 it was a soupy mess and considering the rest of the system was brand new when the s52 went in, I don't know what else it could be.
