If you need to borrow a lift, or need any help, let me know!I'm a little sorry I didn't tow mine when everything was out and get it painted, but there's too much body work that I know I wouldn't be able to afford the work.

Re: Car is in alot of pieces.... Reply #4 – August 31, 2005, 04:18:17 PM will do man, might need some help getting the motor all unplugged to get the wireing harness out. seems like a major pain in the ass. then im just going to unbolt the motor mounts slide it off the driveshaft with the trans attacthed. take off a few bolts to remove the core support and slide it out straight instead of all the way up and around the front core support.engine hoist is a possible that i could borrow from a guy around the corner, i just need to buy a stand.
