So the time has come!
I have begun the project of swapping the laggin' wagon. It will have the dubious honor of going from no power to slightly more than no power!!
Tonight's activities:
Jack up the car
Discover that the fuel filler pipe is still leaking fuel
Forget to loosen the lug nuts before the car was on stands
Realize the car wasn't in an optimal position, put wheels back on, lower car, move car, start over again.
Forget to loosen the lug nuts before car was on stands
Remove battery
Drain oil
Have supper and debate whether the comfort of the couch is more important than working on the car
Drain coolant
Chip away at concrete mud on the car from rallyx at racecity last march
Realize I forgot to loosen the axle nuts before the car was on stands
Remove radiator
Chip away more concrete from the inside of the engine bay
Cleanup
The fozzy rear end to go in at some point
Various bits that need to go in at some point (RS intake, front grill, "new" headlight and side marker)
The filler pipe still leaking
About 1/4 of the concrete that fell in my face while I was draining fluids
Rad gone
Rads don't need like... air to pass through them, right?
