So I'm pulling the guts out of the End of The Road car and all I have left is to drop the motor & tran....It's hot here mid 80's and I'm sweating and trying to remember where the kid put things when he cleaned up the garage (ok I'm using my phychic powers to try and find stuff in the garage now) and I figure I'll just loosen the trans bolts before going to hunt for one of the 4 little jacks I have when WHAM !!! PAIN !!! I guess I loosened the bots too much. Good thing I had a 4' length of pipe within reach (I used it to loosen the frozen wheel bolts) I used it to lift the muffler off my foot and pull my foot out of the runner.
I can walk on it (yes of course it hurts) and it's turning a nice variance of colours. Attached image(s)

The car lurched forward when it dropped and the jackstand on that side ended up with about 1/8" of metal under it.....

You will need to check you front motor mounts now. They are probably bent or broken.

The bottom of the car is so rusty that the engine mounting bar bent forward so the mounts "might" be ok, but I'll check just incase. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
