Update III
Created on 2002-06-01 00:00:00
Got up early today and finished off the last few things, removed the remaining rear wiring harness, the driveshaft (always a greasy job), speedo cable, starter and O/D wiring. Finished just in time to help load up the car, its on its way to the bodyshop as I write! Front & rear suspension, parking brake assy, steering, door and hood latches, brake clutch and fuel lines, brake and clutch master cyls, gas brake and clutch pedals, exhaust assy, stripped engine and trans remain in the car. Not sure yet if I'll have time to help finish the teardown at the shop in Puyallup.
