Someone offered me $60 for it all... thats if i find another motor and tranny...

ok. but if things change and you want to give it away let me know. Also since you wont be needing the MAF sensors and all the other sensors mounted on the firewall let me get those.

sure...

Here is where I left off last night 12/30/07 What a mess huh?








And this is what she looks like now










I found condesation and rust after removing the headliner at the back... i have no clue where the water is coming from... is this common?








In these pics you can see the dust accumulation after removing the pillars... These are the before pics...






This the after pics, after cleaning it up...

Over the cold days I started to disconnect everything in the engine bay that would prevent the engine from coming out...

WOW, the exterior cleaned up really well, and for the rear rust, I wouldn't bother repairing that, that panel is easy to get. And in the future, I have a lot of extra jdm parts for that car, and I mean a lot, that I will be selling, if your interested

how bout the rust I got by the hinges of the hatch where i found condensation? its in a spot i cant get too...

take off the hatch thats what I did.

oh damn i didnt post pics of it... hold up... I made a note of where the condensation and rust was...

very common placee for minor rust I sandblasted all mine after dissasembling everything than cleaned sand for days.

i wonder where i can get that done?

I did it myself look in the How to's and the thread titled how to paint and engine bay.

thanks

Dude that rust isn't that bad but I had to rebuild the lip on the fender on my 72 chevelle because no one ever thought about it when the rust was small. Don't let some kid 30 something odd years from now with hardly any money have to work out big rust issues. Thats never any fun ; if you need a grinder or anything let me know I've got some tools for stuff like that.

well today was a total waste... people just dont have common sense or courtesy sometimes... wasted the whole day, so when i got home i showered and slept...

I woke up around 10pm ans started removing more from the engine bay to shave it down paint and wire tuck... alot of freaking work... at first i was ust gonna drop in the ls and drive it. But since everything is coming out out might do it while i have it apart...

Here is what i Started with





This is was i accomplished
