A thousand mile journey begins with one step, Grasshopper.
Lets hope step 3 isn't "Clean the bird crap off 911"
Good luck.

One thing at a time. If you hit a wall on something, move over to another part and keep working until you get what you need to move on your first task. Maybe "Z"s motor will help solve one issue...

Rob, you need to stop offering parts! I still have your passenger side mirror on my driver's side. Will return it ASAP, I promise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

No big deal unless you paint it pink like the rest of the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

BTW- the spare engine would need some attention to run (but not much).

Progress report:

put the car on jackstands (that's was "interesting",the car moved instead of the floor jack, when I lowered the floorjack the jackstands kicked out and I almost got squished by my front spoiler)

took apart my front calipers and broke a piston in the process (used a screwdriver on the ridge and obviously used too much force, piston would not budge using compressed air, the other pistons came out without a problem)

tonight I hope to clean and rebuild the calipers, install them along with new SS hoses in the front and swap out my torsion bars for some new 22mm units I've had sitting around for 8 months.

I've decided to work from the front of the car to the back.......stay focused Mueller !!!!!
