      Pic for size comparison

      I don't think the grom would do much lol. And plus I just put new parts on it on Friday. Have to keep them looking nice for at least another week until I crash it again :o

        Went insane looking at that white fiberglass bumper bullshit.

        Found my room mates cut off wheel.....

        Dust everywhere

        Gone forever

        Wiring & fan were next

        Car was involved in a skirmish at one point

        Rotted core support

        1531231a0ae4825589971ec80f246ae7.jpg

        Fronts basically off now.

        Next up is grind the old core support off.

        Then make something to hold the radiator. Plans are a brewing

            I have an aftermarket core support that you can buy cheap if you want all of the nifty mounting points and other odds and ends of sheetmetal off of it.

            ...

                Radiator is out. Got home from riding later last night so I couldn't do much grinding (neighbors) but today the core support will come off

                    de0ab2dd7f52fb22696b564fbfcaf114.jpg

                    Before pulling out

                    -starter wires

                    -driveshaft

                    -slave cylinder line

                    -throttle cable

                    -heater core lines

                    -trans mounts

                    -engine mounts

                    -move fuel lines outa the way and get gas everywhere

                    -try to remember where everything goes

                    -remove anything else??

                    -don't suck

                    I think that's it

                    Oh. And get an engine hoist

                        Check craigslist for a engine hoist. If you buy and have a northern tool around the price was similar to HF ($180?) a few years ago but NT had a 1 yr warranty vs 3 month on the HF.

                            Good deal

                            I'll search around for a bit, Craigslist in this are isn't the most lively.

                            May just end up buying one from harbor freight. Granted I may only use it once or twice, but having one is nice.

                            Plus it's like a guaranteed six pack of "insert beer here" for when someone wants to borrow it.

                                The s50 is currently on the stand when the m50 comes out I'm swapping the e34 pan and other stuff off of it. Then dress the s50, put m50 on tires, then put s50 in. M50 going to a buddy who is gonna give me driveshaft/clutch and some help over a weekend

                                At least that's the plan

                                I have yet to order any parts haha
