V1 Blitz's Standard City Frame 07 SS/SC

[95Blitz]

The car is going to be a what ever car. Autocross, drive it to work, just what ever.

I have had the car for a few months now, but just go the "shop" finished so I could really work on the car. The shop is a 12x24 portable building so I have to think thin thoughts while working sometimes.

Day 1. Got the hood, wipers, cowl grill off, and the pass headlight/bucket.

Day 2. Drivers headlight/bucket, bumper/and bumper cover, A/C condenser, washer fluid bottle, finder liner on driver side.

Nice start.

Thanks.

A few more things removed today.

Looking good! I don’t know if you have any help, but I tore mine down by myself. If that’s the case tear the dash apart in the car. The dash is even heavier than one of the doors.

Can confirm, struggled to drag it out of the car

 

[95Blitz]

Yup doing this by myself. Good tip on the dash. I pulled a 94 mustang dash once and only once. That one was heavy also. We will see how it goes, when I get there.

Absolute worst part of the tear down

One of the worst parts. The worst to me was getting the gas tank out. If I could go back and do it over again I would get that out while it still had wheels on the front. It was super sketchy wrestling out the tank with the front on the floor and the back on jack stands.

Sounds like you didn’t have it jacked up enough. I had absolutely no issues pulling that out. Although I had the stands on the rear axle since I didn’t remove that until I cut up the donor

Just an FYI, I see you have your alternator off. If you plan on lowering the engine from the hoist points you will be supporting the passenger side of the engine by only one bolt.

 

[95Blitz]

Thanks Towerdog, I have that hoist point on the roof waiting till it's needed..

More work today.. The doors came off today big step ... anyway here are the pics to prove work was done. Oh and my growing wall of parts.

Come on. Blow up some air bags.

I was thinking about it to show my kids how serious it is. Then I remembered the Takata recall and second guessed it.

Fast Forward to the 18 minute mark...

That’s the perfect reason to do it. It’s educational and you get faulty air bags off the road. Just a warning, if you do the pass front airbag, it’s a bit loud.

As someone who currently has a bruised tail bone, that video made me cringe.

And I thought airbags could be dangerous to the head and neck when deployed in front of the driver... Tailbone, yeah, the whiplash though!! Dang his neck takes a toll!

 

[95Blitz]

No way man I'm not popping those... My plan is to give them to friends so they can have fun with them.
I got a little further than this pictures, carpet is out and a few other things. I'm at a point where I need to decide front suspension and engine or rear suspension a fuel tank. I'm going to weld swivel casters to the frame so I can move it afterwards.

 

[95Blitz]

So a little work happened today. Removed the rear suspension, fuel tank, E-brake and tubes. I still need to pull the fuel filler neck after that the rear will be done. I started on the front suspension with the drivers side, it wasn't as bad as I was thinking it would be. The picture with the fuel filter, did i screw up by cutting the hard line? The car is ate up with rust and that hard line was bubbling with rust. The release tool wouldn't fit till I scrapped the rust off with a screwdriver, then it still took a hammer to seat the tool.

 

[Towerdog]

Why would you want to reuse the fuel filter?
