Thanks guys for the feedback!! Makes me want to post more
This is post 100, so I've got to make it a good one
Here we go:
Session 019:
Figured I'd go ahead and get some practice with spot welds before trying to remove the tranny mount :P
Did I ever tell you guys how I love Harbor Freight??This pry bar pop's got me for X-mas was a life saver today:
Removed:
Practice session #2:
2 spot welds. This one is cake:
Then I figured it was time to work on the Karcepts shifter kit.
I put the shift plate back in place to make sure the markings to slot the holes were accurate. Then I found my stash of rotary files. This one would be perfect:
Slotted:
Template in place to mark cutout:
Cutout marked:
Here's what I'll be using:
(Got to love HF :thumbup: :thumbup
Then after condensation coming out of my drill gun I figured it was time to install the water / oil filter on the compressor:
The local auto store would not take my gasoline I drained from the gas tank so I have been burning it in a barrel which I use to burn my spam papers from snail mail. I had the bottle to close to the barrel and the damn thing caught on fire (this jug is gas and oil). I thought for sure the house was going to burn down because the oil spilled onto the ground and there was a big fire. When I came back with the water hose which I had to get out of the garage, take to the faucet, hook up, and drag across the yard, the fire was outGod was looking after me today =)
Seem like it was going to take forever with the 3" cutter:
But once you get through the metal just slice it down the seam:
Remember kids, safety first :P :
And after about 30 minutes (fumes would get bad after a minute so I would have to get out) on the same blade:
Out:
Next! ...and this thing was a b!tch!!
Got to get that last piece of sound deadening material. No problem, HF pry bar FTW:
After drilling and drilling:
About a pound out:
2nd one I've found at the house. Not good :thumbdown: :hammer:
Removed the rubber hatch seal. Just pulls right up as I was told:
Glue holds the corners in:
12 years of dirt:
What came out of my compressor when I drained it :crook: =(
Going to sand the engine bay next session :thumbup: :thumbup:
Thanks for looking =)
BTW: I picked up a $10 1/2" Black and Decker drill bit this evening for the tranny mount.
Here's some back in the day pics for you guys
