Are you going to reinforce the clutch tube, as long as you're in there?

Thanks Steve. I'm really hoping to have it back on the road by the end of August at least. Sooner would be better.


BAHAHAHAHA. Famous last words.

Does the /6 have undercoating that you plan on removing? If so you can try killing two birds with one stone and have someone scrape the bottom side as you heat and scrape the inside of the floor pan.

My personal weapon in avoiding DPO status is to bury my mistakes or blame them on the PDPO.

Probably.

It looks like somebody might have been there already. From the underside of the pan directly under the tunnel and just at the front of the shifter are a couple of bumps that look like weld spots from the inside. Which is kind of a scary thought after seeing the rest of the "repairs".

I'm not doing a CW resto. This car is and will remain a driver.

Yup. But the tar has already been removed. The stuff on the bottom comes off really easy with 4.5" GRINDER and a big cup brush. I'm going to wait until the car is in the shop and on the rotisserie to finsh the underside.

This could very well have been the work of the PDPO. Who knows? Who cares. It's crap, that's for sure. But whata ya gonna do?

I spent most of this week stripping more stuff off of the donor. It's a real PITA dismantling a car that you want to keep all of the parts off of and in good shape. Ferg came over yesterday evening to help cut off the right rear quarter. The large pics got corrupted, but here's a couple of small shots.

Thanks Ferg!

was the donor car a terminal cancer case before you decided to cut it up? something nobody seems to save. the little plastic tubes that cover the wire holding prongs. i soaked a bunch in oil eater (costco item, cheap and works well). microwaved them in water, after rincing. leave them in the hot water, go out to the car and put them on one at a time. they are maliable and can be shaped to near original form.

I haven't seen this much garage floor on this side for over a year. Well, unless I was on ny back under a tub.

Nice front trunk pan

Mike,

1) It's evil that you are hacking up a silver car.

2) this is childish, but you missed a headlight. (and the motor, and the cover)

3) I have to work on my car tomorrow -- I figure if I do 8 - 10 % of what you are up to, I won't have to hide my head.

4) Can't wait to see the results! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Korijo might be able to use both of those seat mount brackets, if you are up to cutting them off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Kim,

If I had known then what I know now, I probably would have spent all the money and had it fixed. Live and learn. But - the silver car will be a part of mine and several others for a long time to come. The rear apron and trunk floor is on a very nice car in Canada somewhere. The rest of the trunk floor will be in Eric Shea's GT replica in Salt Lake. Various small parts are on cars all over the country. And more parts will go out to help keep other teeners on the road.

Chris,

I'm going to use them on my /6. I'm updating the seats and backpad.

Mike,

I'm sure you know I'm messing with ya. Silver is my color for some reason. Of course, you've touched my cdn soft spot -- we'll gloss over that :-) -- but shipping rust free materials up north is a good thing! Some cars have to come apart to supply the needs of other sponsored cars. it's a good thing!

I'm currently hunting for the pics when you picked her up, 'cause I think it always helps to see the "good" that you (and the rest of us) are going after.

Rock on!

kim.

Mike,

I'll have the pics out of the archive tomorrow somehow (can't believe I can't just pick them out of the air -- after all, one of my cars is in a couple of 'em :-)

But that's for tomorrow -- btw, being ex-cdn means that your version of snow is not exactly intimidating to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Of course no saturday is complete without ---

on the morrow.
