Moving forward, i spent a few hours saturday since it was nice outside. This is a middle of the progress photo. I have the brakes, calipers, spindles, struts, springs, all the AC stuff, and most of the harness undone. I still need to get the steering knuckle off and then the lower member should be ready to pull. hopefully have the motor and transmission out this weekend.
The guide videos make it seem a lot easier than it actually is. What took these guys 10 minutes took me most of an afternoon. I have been using them as a reference point on where i am though, even though i am pulling some things off in a different order.
I need to go to HF and buy a dolly to set the motor on. going to be a lot of deep cleaning on it for sure. I pressure washed it before i started pulling the stuff off it. I still find dirt, dust, acorns, leaves and other things.
I really hope to get the harness out in the next 3 weeks to give myself a month to do it. I don't think it should take that long but i want to have extra time on it because when i go pick up my goblin (right now planning for the 22 of march) i want it to be all ready to start putting it together. This warm weather this weekend has made me start missing my crotch rocket.
I am thinking about getting these as the wheels for the goblin.
