Today was a good day to start. Got help from my son and his buddy which really moved things along. Seats, carpet, trim, bumpers, valances, and AC unit have all been removed, labelled and carefully cataloged and stored away. We found the battery tray rusted away as well as a hole on the adjacent fender. Both will be an easy fix. Otherwise the body is in very good condition with no other rust. Picked up some used tires which we put on the alloy wheels. I believe they are Empi's as I had a set on my VW Variant years ago.
I will post additional pictures once I figure out how to re-size them. Attached thumbnail(s)

Today we pulled the engine/trans with not too much difficulty. Separated the trans from the engine and started engine breakdown. The good new is the I have a 2.0 #GC000317. The bad news is it looks as though I have sucked an intake valve into the cylinder. There's no valve there and I can see chunks of metal in the cylinder. Tomorrow should bring additional information once I get the heads off. Obviously it will require a rebuild, but should I increase displacement or leave it stock. Any thoughts? I will post pics tomorrow of what I find. Neil
