Nothin. That's the box the FLAPS gave me when I was buying all the gaskets, oil and tranny fluid for the truck motor swap a month ago. Now it contains the /6 carbs, linkage, fuel pump, filters and lines.

I need more room.

speaking of cold, I flew into Denver on Friday and was surprised at how much snow was still on the ground. Not just the mountains either!

Damn, it's nice to live in a tropical climate like Indy!!!

Mike,

Nice engine stand. eBay special? One time, or a repeating offer?

Oh... when I've had motors out of my 914/4s, I usually ask a couple of folks to help lift them up onto a workbench. How do you get that /6 engine up on the stand?

Yeah... bondo sucks. But it's a fact of life in today's body work industry: "generally straigten and bondo" or "replace the panel" is often the only two courses of action production body shops use.

That was fresh snow. It rained most of the week over most of town, but some southeast areas got a good bit of snow.

The engine stand was a FLAPS special. The brackets for mounting an air coled motor (Porsche or VW) came from ebay. Guy does "Buy it now" only for like $54 or $56 bucks. I can dig up en email if you want me to.

Cherry picker onto my lift. It sat there for a few days. From there I mounted the brackets to the motor, then lifted the stand and bolted it onto the brakets, and then lowered the lift.

I'd like to see that someday... when you decide to put the motor back down (I assume you'll use the same method). Would you document how/where you hook everything up?

No way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) The cherry picker part wasn't pretty. Brant warned me, but I insisted. I will do the same thing again, but I'm going to weld up a bracket of sorts to bolt to my V8 manifold lift plate. It should look something like the \"Engine lift bar tool\" that Pelican sells. I won't need the lift at that point. I can use the cherry picker to lift the motor/stand, and then just unbolt the stand.

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.

QUOTE

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.
