1991 Camaro RS - Turbo 3.1l Project

[C2YT]

Organized all of my parts and started prepping the garage. Unfortunately the beater (2003 bug) is still in the shop. First it needed a trans rebuild, then they took it out and it started bucking again. Turns out there is a mouse nest in the dash and they ate the wire that controlled the transmission. Hopefully will have it back in the next few days.

Well the beater is back, so y'all know what that means! Update time!

Got the majority of the "little" things taken apart or removed tonight.

- Fuel Lines
- Power Steering Lines
- Coolant Overflow
- Windshield Solvent
- Battery
- Air Intake
- Vacuum Canister
- Cruise Control

Here are some pictures, don't mind the mess. It has been a long, hardworking day at my house. Really took advantage of the weather!

Made more progress today:

- Managed wire harness
- Pulled driveshaft
- Pulled torque arm
- Radiator fan
- Radiator
- A/C lines & misc.
- Shift linkage
- Exhaust mount on trans


Getting closer, have a few more things to go then it is all coming out. Should I pull it out together or separately? I have a cherry picker but my main concern is the arm length, plus everything is pushed so far back.

Pulled transmission last night!

Good job man. You're making quick work of this

[DynoDave]

No kidding. Keep after it.

Thanks guys, I actually woke up sore this morning. Took a break from the car and got packed for my families mini vacation down to Tennessee. A whole week of nothing but relaxation and amazing mountain views. So no updates for a few days, but I will definately get back on it after Christmas. Goal is to have the engine bay painted by the new year!

Well I fell a little short of my goal. Work went up, free time went down. Got the engine out though, and pulled the transmission out from under the car. Time for the real fun to begin.

Sweet! Things are happening. I remember you saying that you were doing this, glad that its happening. Cant wait to see more progress.

[C2YT]

Thanks guys! It's going to be slow but I want it done early spring. Doing a pretty thorough clean up job so that will take a lot of time.

Just some updates,

- Started taking apart the engine, intake and accessories will be getting shot blasted and cleared.
- Cam came in the mail today, best $65 spent so far. Thanks Delta Cams!
- Got in contact with an old classmate who is now a tech in the CNC department of my school. Hopefully going to make some flanges this week to save me $60 on buying some.
