motor out,btw i have no engine hoist so i pulled this out with nothing but my arms....by myself
http://i39.tinypic.com/2naihxj.jpg
empty bay......for now
http://i43.tinypic.com/jrp3c8.jpg
cleaned up the bay a little
http://i44.tinypic.com/2u8jxi8.jpg
i had to take out almost the whole dash to change the pedals, i know its dirty but i was working on it lol
http://i44.tinypic.com/2cctjyu.jpg
http://i41.tinypic.com/2jakys9.jpg

im glad i dont have to have hood spacers
http://i40.tinypic.com/zwkcir.jpg
going to finish it tomorrow all i have left is a few pesky wires put in the axles and bolt up the shift linkage and im done
overall i dont think its bad considering i did this alone with no garage or any kind of hoist for the motor :goodjob:

[SUBY_RUE]

Hood spacers are the gayness.

:rolleyes: Only becouse Its not the trendy thing anymore, and becouse a few popular ia members said it was gay.... so it has to be true...lol... Nobody can think for them self anymore....

Not bashing, just venting a lil...
