Well it stopped raining for a few minutes so I took off the passenger side A-pillar and put in my USB GPS antenna. You almost can't see it, but it's the black box between the two lighter colored plastic clips. I'm going to have it hooked to my laptop for now, but it will eventually go to my carputer.

A rare sight... Joe reading a manual and Paul (salvo24)... don't look so happy to be there Paul





Yours truly










John decided to show up and help out 




Putting the hose for the air compressor together




Working into the night...




Rotors haven't been used in a while





Pimpin since been pimpin since been pimpin since been pimpin








We've got the coolant and power steering fluids drained, all the hoses and wires disconnected from the motor, everything for the suspension undone so we can get the axle out of the way, all 3 motor mounts and both trans mounts disconnected, header manifolds undone from the downpipe. The motor is getting pulled tomorrow morning to hook up the new trans and put new motor mounts in.

We'll probably work on the front suspension while the front is still jacked up. I need to get the manual starter (apparently the auto starter is too big for the 6 speed) as well and have to wait til Monday morning and drive up to Georgia and pick it up if an Autozone (already checked Advance) in town doesn't have one.



That's it until the morning.....
