Day 3:
bye bye truck tub mkI, kinda sad to see it going but its for
a good cause
took a day off work, got a fair bit done.
100% of soundproofing removed, weighs loads!, heater blower also out which is also surprisingly heavy, went at the rear seatbelt mounts with a grinder, all it needs now is some black paint and carbon fiber to make some doorcards and its on to a winner
the soundproofing most people never see
can tell how much weight has been removed, the rear has come up by a good few inches lol
made a start stripping mkI, turbo is all undone, downpipe and exhaust, cut battery tray out of the boot floor and cleaned it up, intercooler and piping off. would have got alot more done on that but ive hit a problem with getting the oil feed out of the block, bastard thing is cross threaded and it was doing my head in so left it for now while i think what to do, been thinking about using the existing oil line on the black car then making an adapter for that using a braided hose upto the turbo.
been in the zone all day so pictures were neglected, but this how things are looking when i left
