Since parking my car I've slowly been dismantling the front end and removing the motor and trans. Well yesterday was D-day, I spent 6 hours, and got the motor down to a short block, then pulled the motor and auto trans as a whole. Went super smooth.
Gunna be fixing the little bit of rust my car has, ordering new fenders, fixing the door, and redoing the engine bay. The way this engine bay comes from factory looks like a cluster fuck on the drivers side, and I'm not a fan of that. So I'll be trying to clean it up more. Going out today to do more work on the car aswell as separate the motor from the trans.

Wrong, a tuck is "TUCKING" the wires behind, in and or under something. I'm just rerouting them in the engine bay to not have a mixed not of coolant hoses, brake lines, power steering lines, and wires all twisted around each other like they came from the factory....

He wants to clean it up, but not be associated with fully tucked stance hoodlums... haha
Kinda, even though I am stanced pretty good.

Got the engine torn down a bit more yesterday before work. Coming along slowly, but I got all the time in the world.
I also cut off the rusted rear muffler because I was afraid it'd fall off on the highway an explode into a rust bomb. This is what was left:
This is also the car I picked up off Jawa for a good price. Yay winter beater!

Did a little work on the daily, the rear muffler was a bit rotted out, decided to remove it, didn't realize just how bad it was...:
Started tearing the motor down to a bare block to get it ready for hot tanking, primer, and paint.
This motor was rusty an crusty on the outside. But a bit of wire wheel action, and a bit of sand blasting will get this thing looking minty as ever!
Cylinder walls had no scoring, no ridging, so that's good!
Pistons looked pretty good for the miles as well!
The crank looks to be nice as well. It has no scoring, no scratches, etc. So I'm all around pretty happy!An this is how I left it. No sleep with a work in a few hours, I needed some rest!

That looks good I'm looking for something like that o a bit more
Eh??
I don't know what the paint is on the head, that was on when I got it (reman)
