        Wow. Broken spring.

        Look at the pile of crud underneath the two springs...

                        also forgot to post I picked up a 84 bird and almost have it torn apart and ready for scrap..

                        Gonna pull the subframe and redo it will polybushings and powder coating it for replacing my stock one..

                        I am pulling the rearend out of mine this weekend to get it ready for the posi and gears, since I will be eventually changing over to a 4th gen rear I will be painting it while its out and cleaning it up for resale hopefully.

                        will post a pic or two this weekend from the little I have gotten done..

                          HOLY CRAP where did the time go?


                          I hate not having enough time.. Well alot has transpired since my last post.

                          Still removing the rearend, just the E brake cables then its out. Have to bend two lines in the front end then it will be done, spring popped right out and went back in with a jacks assistance.. Have borrowed a powerwasher to do the engine bay, wiring...eh.. scares me right now.

                          Been busy with the parts car, got it almost all parted out and ready for the loader crushing..

                          heres some pics of the last parts car..

                            we did that cause the trailer was broken so we could not tow it in for scrap so it had to be put in a hopper..

                            Now things look like my funds ran out early this year for the finishing touches on both cars..
                            I may have to tear them apart and then wait for funds to be available next spring.. only time will tell right now.

                            but I hope to make it to next years M&G with the bird driveable.

                            oh yeah it did fit into the hopper..

                              that looks like so much fun

                              surprised you didnt pull the wheels first and sell'em

                              were they junk?

                                everything that was left was junk.. I wish I would have known MP81 was needing quarters, cause I would have kept the shell for him to have, it was absolutely clean..
