I spent a few hours on the donor after gym this morning. This was my workshop for the day. It was bright and sunny with a constant breeze up on the hill. Good day to do some wrenching outside.
My goal for the day was to get the drive train out. I did the
Drop the Entire Sub Frame/Drive Train method. I took out the sub frame bolts while it was on jack stands and got it ready to pop out of there. No lift yet so I used our tractor.
I lifted the front and pulled out the jack stands. Then lowered it down to where the sub frame was barely touching the moving dollies. I then unbolted the engine from the mounts on the topside which let it drop down on the dollies. Then I just had to lift the bucket to pull the chassis up and roll the whole thing out from the front end. Side note: The plastic wiring loom around the engine absolutely disintegrated when it was touched. Almost turned to powder.
I rolled the car forward toward the edge of the concrete and set the tires under the front to hold the chassis up.
I spent some time on the rear end. Pulled the rear suspension and cross bar thingy. Got the fuel tank and other components dropped and pulled out of there. All wiring has been pulled from the rear up toward the front seat area.
I have the engine compartment pretty much stripped. I think the rest of it will go after I pull the dash. That's next on my list after I watch some videos and go through some of the build threads. I'd like to have the shell bare by the end of the weekend.
Here's my mess of a parts pile. There is a guy not too far from the property that sells plastic pallets. I'm going to get a couple of those and palletize everything except the plastic trim pieces and other obvious trash. The pallets will get stored under one of the tan garage tents that I put up a while back. The drive train is going to the laser shop for me to clean and work on. That's the plan anyway! lol.
Chassis #336 is on the jig based on the Peek Into DF Kit Car thread. Mine will be starting soon.
