Not a huge amount done today, but I arrived pretty late, so not too surprising. I started by cleaning up the remainder of the huge mess from the engine removal.
The parts pile became officially unacceptable, so I organized. Some items tossed, some stored on shelves. Hopefully I chose correctly on what went where.
I want to get the engine bay totally stripped for drivetrain fitting, so I just started on the driver's side.
I've never seen these spot-welded wiring retainers before. They work pretty well, just bending little arms to hold stuff. As my dad likes to say, "...designed as a single-use piece of machinery." Gonna be annoying to drill all these out; there are a ton of them.
I found out why the brakes didn't work. The fluid turned to some sort of jelly.
On the shop organization front, we did get a giant stainless table moved from the fab side to the car side.
It fit perfectly in the corner and will be a nice addition to the work space.
Not a huge amount done, but I got the driver's side cleared off. Passenger side next time.
Thanks for reading!
