Tuesday Workday: The gray car goes on a diet

Just finished up one of our regular Tuesday after work sessions.  Rob and Nick came over and we got started.  This is the first real work the gray car has had.  We are mainly focused now on getting ready for the cage.  We got all the cloth, interior, and the doors off.  Not bad for under 3 hours work.

Sure is nice to not have doors in the way.

Still lots to do here.

Freaking dash.  I spent an hour working on the passenger side and then nick came over and said, ohh you just do these two bolts and it will come right out.  *Face Palm*  Signs point to mold danger so its good that we got started on this.

All tucked in for the night!  That’s doubled over.  I may have gotten a slightly too large of a tarp.

The parts are really really starting to pile up.  We haven’t even really started on the engine bay.  We need to start getting this stuff sold.

No real problems found.  Nick found some questionably connected electronics and I found a receipt from a tire store dated 2001.  The inspection marked leaking dampers on the front and rear passenger side.  No repair was on the receipt, I doubt it was fixed.  Looks like we will have to use our “spare” dampers right away.

A great head start for the big work session on sunday.

Several of our debates rage on.  What seat are we going to get?  Do we have a final decision on the cage?  Heater core or no heater core?
