damn man, you are doing the damn thing..
Session 019:
:camera: time!!
Removing the gas and brake pedal assembly.
Everything you remove to get the assembly out of the vehicle is 12mm. This is assuming you have the brake booster and clutch slave cylinder removed already.

Remove the 12mm nut:

Ahhhhh, just pinch the 2 clips and it pops out:

Cotter pin that will need to be removed once the assembly is out:
(Good luck removing it while the assembly is still mounted)

Remove that 12mm bolt and the assembly is ready to come out:

Gas pedal:

Bump stop on the gas pedal. Pic so I can reinstall it close to the original setting:

Throttle cable clip ($hit's nasty):

Pull it outward with some pliers:

Pry the rubber protectors out with a flathead screwdriver:
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._4376_rs23.jpg
2 switches that engage and disengage the clutch?? First time seeing this stuff so I
really don't know. Plus I'm a noob to the technical side of cars :P

The assembly cleaned up, ready to be prepped for paint:

Thanks for the props again guys.
I just read every one of your posts. Nicely done! I wish I had the extra space to do something like this...Would like to see the car in person once it's done! PROPZ! :goodjob:
ps, hood dampers would be badazz, you should do those :yes:
Has anyone ever told you that you should write instruction manuals? Bad ass project sir.
Thanks man!! I thought about getting some hood dampers, but after seeing how the hood will open only so far, I have to pass on them. The car will be at the local meets / shows once complete. You can bet that :cheers:Quote:

Rear under carriage cleaning :no: :cry:
I knew the back was nasty as well, but had no idea it would be such a PITA to clean.
Got to love the wheel dollies. Moving the hatch around with nothing up front. Flipped her around in the garage to work on the a$$ end. Yeah, each time I jack the front end up now I have to lift the front end to slide the jack underneath. Yeah, I'm that strong :blah: :lmfao:

See why this $hit is so nasty:
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._4404_rs25.jpg
I cleaned the back end for about 2 hours taking small breaks in between. This is the result:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._4415_rs25.jpg
Still have some more cleaning to do as well. I'm going to pull the entire rear suspension off for cleaning and undercoat everything including the wheel wells :bump:
Got tired of cleaning the rear so I decided to switch things up a bit and clean the bay.
My brother recommended AJAX, so that is what I used:
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._4405_rs25.jpg
Get it on there nice and good:

How do I remove this clip? It's located in the corner below the brake booster:
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._4408_rs25.jpg
Then I was curious about the stains in the engine bay and decided to test a spot by sanding it down after cleaning:
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._4416_rs25.jpg
Then I went to work with my razor blade removing the residue from the cowl opening below the windshield:
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._4409_rs25.jpg
That's it for now. I'll be back hopefully soon with some more pics :camera:
Thanks for looking :police:
You must be really tired of cleaning then, lol.Quote:

hybrid, have you already picked up your Kswap engine and tranny? If so, PM me details on it, I may be looking into swapping one into a coupe here soon.
dude this is sick man.
Holy Shiat man! I could never get that deep into a project. If I can't finish it in a couple days I would be freaking out. Plus, with my luck it would get totalled as soon as I finished.
Did you sell your soul to Harbor Freight? LOL. Any idea how much you have spent so far?
:goodjob:
saw this on h-t I think... keep it up.
