Two for the price of one!

There are two new videos out, episode 6 and 7. I've also got about an episode's worth of unused footage that I may cobble into something later on.  I'm not real happy with how Episode 7 is right now so you may see a reloaded update later on, but for now it's good enough.

First up is Episode 6, detailing what's been done and what's left to do:

After that, we emptied out the gas tank.  I've since emptied out the power steering as well.

Here's what was drained out of the tank.

New video on the way!

Hey guys, I have the next video shot, but not edited yet.  It's been a busy week but I have a long weekend comming up, so not only should I be able to make some progress on the car, but also get that last series edited and posted.

In the mean time, I have gotten the gas tank removed and think I'm ready to tackle the fuel pump next.  Then it's the exhaust manifold and the halfshafts, and we're ready to pull it out!

Here's a shot of the gas tank as a parting gift:

Making progress

Okay, episode 5 is up!  This week I got the wipers off (don't ask me why, you have to take them off for engine removal apparently) the hood off, the radiatior and radiator resivoir, battery, battery pan and some bit of relay (I think maybe a thermostat) taken out. 

So far I have the alternator, and power steering pump to take out, and the air conditioning condenser to move.  After that, I think it's time for lift out!

On something of a down note, I have to get another passenger side wiper arm, as you'll see in the video.  Hopefully this will be cheap.  I've also got some before and after shots of the interior.

Before:

After:

The dirver's side looks just as improved, but I don't have a good before shot.  I haven't shampood the floors yet, but they're next.

And without further delay, episode five!
