So, i was driving my car, and knew there's really no more events that i was looking forward to the rest of the year. So i decided to park the car and start the last tear down.
Got out the Super UP! and some rollers. decided to swing the car around. put on jack stands and started by taking wheels off... After cars and coffee i was was fixing my moms car and had to go get some parts, going through a small town and i ended up banging my oil pan and subframe/swaybar on a GINORMOUS pot hole. (wasnt paying attention) when i got home i noticed the headlight was kinda droopy. Turns out, the weld broke on the fender where the headlight bolts to it and i decided to zip tie it so i could still use the car a couple more times and run the gas down. Oil pan/cross member. Close up. This was the deciding factor that i wanted to just take the car apart for the last time and fix stuff that bothered me to show it off. like the seam sealer and the brake booster/master leaking. going to be hard to scrape this one off, but i will when i re-spray the engine bay. Going to scrape the IG handle off. as times change so do I. Started disassembly of the front end/engine bay. MEH, point of no return? going to re-wire a thermostatic fan controller on so *snip* and rad/fans off. Off with the fenders, but first the side-skirts must go. on the floor organized. time for the suspension to dissappear. Almost!! OFF. Next was some of the wiring, chassis peeled back Brake and clutch master/lines Heater hoses. finished stripping the engine of wires. hooking up the engine hoist. Friend Logan, (the one who took the pictures at the dogwood tree and in front of the yellow flowers) came by to help pull the engine/trans. Annnndd it's out!! NOW WHAT!? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Interior is next..... Dash out, next is dash bar and more wiring. Rats nest. its all on the floor to be un-tangled. everything is clear. That is the (full) chassis and engine harness all in one pile. Ended up selling these for cheap Hung up the areo/fenders to clear the floor a bit. |
