The Engine is Out

Yesterday a couple friends came over to help work on the car. We first tried to fix the previous problems (as the car was still running). The bad lug nut turned out to be the knocking problem. After it was re-threaded and on the car the knocking went away. We bled the brakes and they are a bit better now. I guess this is just how non-power brakes feel. Reverse works - you just have to pull up and over to get it there. The dashboard has also been revarnished...


We spent most of the day pulling out the internal combustion engine, radiator, exhaust, fuel lines, and gas tank. I've never drank so much yet peed so little in my life, but it was a lot of fun.

Removing the gas tank...


Disconnecting engine parts...


Empty engine bay...


Won't be needing this anymore...


Or this...


The kitty wants a ride...


Now I just need to decide on a motor.
