Love the color.
It's gonna be a great project.

Rnin's method for opening the engine lid should work if the cable pulls and feels springy (read: is attached and working). Mine sticks randomly, and when it does, it's inevitably when no one is there to help. Here's what I do: I pull the cable; wedge a piece of wood (maybe a half inch thick?) under the cable handle to keep it open, and jostle the lid. I hope it works for you.

PS, I'm glad this was not a hoax. I'm really looking forward to following your journey.
