ok - dismembering began a few days ago. most of the work thus far has been pressure washing, wire wheeling and sandblasting. A/C removed, PS removed, cruise removed, emissions, f&r bumpers, lotsa interior crap, all seatbelts except front lap belts, rear wiper, lotsa plastickey stuff, brackets, misc unnecessary...
* interior still looks like an interior
* driveshaft filled in with silicon goop
* rear end full of Redline shockproof (more to come for x-frcase and fancy juice for tranny too)
* all old painted green parts now black or shiny metal (wtf the old owner was thinking bleh...)
* head off to machine shop for cleaning, check, and new valve stem seals
* clutch, flywheel and t/o bearing are great shape
* bov sandblasted and crushed
* b-shafts removed
* bottom end in FANTASTIC shape - pistons perfect, crosshatch in sidewall
* complete engine overhaul gasket kit arriving tomorrow
* crap on TB eliminated and blocked, new seals, semi polished
