True. There's always a chance they come out clean, but I'm not banking on that.

[DynoDave]

The donor is a late 4th gen F-body piece. I don't care for the extra width of a 4th gen housing in a 3rd gen, so I'll be moving that factory Zexel Torsen...

I was fortunate to have a 4 day weekend around Easter, so I was able to work in the garage with the cleaning crew on Friday and Monday, and got some other...

Welcome aboard Chris! An '80 with a 400....sounds like fun!

[DynoDave]

Yeah, I was thinking that too. It will be good to know I got everything back, and where to put it.

[DynoDave]

Been a whale of a week. Content cleaning crew in the garage all 5 days, working the first 4, calls in about detailing, about processing the contents,...

That's the cover I have on the donor axle I'll be building for mine.

[DynoDave]

Yes, I'll be back at it tomorrow and through the weekend.

This is the easy part. Just airing it out, and swapping boxes. It's the item that...

[DynoDave]

I'll try not to bore you with all of the tedious steps of the cleanup process. But for a lot of the contents of the shop, cleanup is on me. And much of...

[DynoDave]

Transported to detail shop yesterday. I went and met with them to go over what needed to be done. They seemed very nice, and interested in helping save...

[DynoDave]

It had a good run with you. Time for a new caretaker.

I try not to be too overly paranoid as I cruise the interwebs...I'm certainly not worried about you and Don! But I was playing with Gimp editing software...

[DynoDave]

The good(ish) - she's back on the ground, and ready to be towed to the detail shop.
