well yesterday i finally got the engine out of my 88t came out like butter,it took about 10 min to get the engine out.but getting the car in place for the engine to be pulled took forever.my 88t was in my back yard to get down to my back yard its all down hill.and i cant pull it in my back yard becuase its a field of dirt and dying grass so i had to tow it to the front yard on the pavement.so i borrow my nieghbors jeep (looks like a ****ing monster truck) drive it down there get'er all chained up.then i notice the 88t has a flat. my tire has a huge gash in the side of it,so......i went up fron to my front yard jacked up my 87na stole a tire of it set the disk on a cinter block put that tire on my 88t.pulled it up the hill very slowly.sounds easy enough but my 88t it totally torn down no diff,trans,or interior the only thing left on the inside of the car is the wiring, e-brake,gas pedal and clutch pdeal.EVERYTHING and i mean everything else is out.so we got it up to the front yard took a couple pics pulled the engine,took some more pics put the engine on my new engine stand and into my room it goes to be rebuilt.we rolled the car back down the hill.i swapped my tire back and we were done. i will have pics soon yall! :^)

 

 

I know its been a while but i finally killed off the last couple pics on the camera and got them developed.. here's some pics of me pulling it out and the car now.

Another thing the cars got a little water in it becuase the cover blew off friday and no one told me about it....then we had really bad rain friday night..

Pic#1)pulling the engine...

Pic#2)looking from the front of the car to the back.no engine trans,or diffy,.

Pic#3)looking from the back of the car towards the front.Notice on the passenger side i have started to remove the black insulation stuff,any clue what that is?(im hoping its insulation!).

Pic#4)Engine bay (nearly gutted).

Pic#5)The stripped down car

Now i need to build a garage,and a rotisserie.

 

looking good keep us posted. dont mind the pepole that try to discurge you.

 

So many people have told me its not going to get finished but I'll be damned if it isn't.On friday I was told by the shop manager,christmas bonus this year is going to be in the 2k-1700$ range(as compared to last years 1700-1500 range$).But we'll see.... all of my bonus is going to my garage(concrete mostly).I'm hoping to have the garage built,and all body work of the car done by summer.So when summer comes around ,and I go back to full time I can sink some major MuLaH Into an engine.
