Here it is as I picked it up. Perfect for Autocross. Power nothing. No Sunroof. The blown engine and the n/a tranny are out. Ready to be stripped down to metal. I'll keep posting pics as she is stripped down.



Anybody need any parts?

wait, is that an aluminum hood? Feel like shipping to PA?

Jims5543 11-17-2002 08:21 AM

No its not an aluminum hood. I forgot how much those steel hoods weigh!! That will be coming off.



The interior is burgandy and is pretty complete.



Everything is coming off of it. Side glass and rear glass included. I plan on it being down to sheet metal by the end of next week.

how long did it take you to strip the inside and was it easy

Jims5543 11-23-2002 07:29 AM

You will not believe me. We recieved the car w/o the engine and tranny.



We completely stripped the car of everything in about 5 hours. I mean everything gas tank exhaust heat shields. You can see the interior there is nothing left.



We just finished scraping ou the sound proofing or the tar like stuff on the floor boards it took 90 mins.



We used an air chisel turned down to about 40 lbs. It scraped it out really easy.



All of this time was with 2 people working at once.
