Been a while since I've updated this.
I'm slowly breaking the blue car for parts. Some/most will be up for grabs. Others will be put on Freelica.

bumper, fender, door mirrors, lights, turn signals etc taken off.




Interior is stripped nearly. Need a couple more bolts to take out the dash.


rear lights and spoiler too. might as well take the trunk. lol


draining fluids to take out the trans.


So we get to today. Today I decided to work on the blue car and get the trans out of the way. Everything went smoothly. All bolts came out and were easy to loosen. Kept the driver's side axle in because I'm probably going to use it. about an hour or less into it and the trans, clutch, and flywheel are off. yay! now to just bolt it onto Freelica and I'll have ONE running celi.











You can say I was feeling pretty good but then once again mother nature intervene with a big F U. Brought in the rain so I quickly cleaned up and went inside only to watch the wind pick up, and the torrential downpour turn into a full on hailstorm. a hailstorm in august!? come on, the one day I work on cars and this happens. I think the car gods are not happy with me.

Send me the double din radio panel and the fog light connector with pigtails, plz. kthx.

You should've put your chainmail and a snorkel on, and kept working. It would have been fine.

I think it's a double din. I'll have to check. and sorry, it's a 94 so no fog lights

>

I would've if it wasn't for the lightning. I don't mind being pelted with hail but death by lightning doesn't sound that fun. lol

Yea... Despite your comments in the TOTD thread, I don't want you struck by lighting, so you made the right choice.

See but if you get struck by lightning and live there's no better time to buy a lottery ticket.

hmm... Idk if I would consider that good luck or not. also, have you seen my green BEANS thread? I am not having the best of luck there.

Seriously, do I need to come help? I came out and had the brakes on Lindsay's 7th gen up and going in like...a day after it sat up for a year because of brakes.

Chee accept the help.

Will work for food and can sleep anywhere.

>

Life basically. LMAO

I welcome the help. It's just me, I don't have any free weekends. Summer is way busy and I've had photo shoots and weddings every weekend so far. The little times after work is all I have to get **** done. If we can find a free weekend, you guys are more than welcome to stop by, if not then you'll be working on my car all by yourself which is fine by me. Lemme know, I'll leave you the keys and everything

Well think on the bright side, at least you're busy from gaining income to pay for hobbies you never have time for!

I know the feeling.

Also, I help you fix the car I don't fix the car for you. Think of it as a bit of a hand hold and training wheels so next time you can get yourself out of your own mess lol.

It always seems to be a battle between time, money, and energy. When I was in college, I had all the time and energy in the world but was broke as a joke. Now I'm settled and have extra income but my time is all spent and so is my energy. such is life...

haha, yeah I know, that's why I cannot legitly ask you for help when I barely have time to help myself. I've always been a DIY kinda guy so don't worry I get you. hence why these projects take so long in the first place because I want to do it myself and learn from all my mistakes.

It looks like our next meet will be at (help me) Cheelas place. At least we know that we have 3 celicas officialy confirm and guarantee to be at that meet. And we know which one is going to have all the attention.

>

That would be nice. Transmission swap and BEAMS swap party meet. Hell, anyone that comes help me can take whatever extra parts I have laying aruond or take the blue car for more parts.

Reminds me of a quote, I think it was Gandhi, about how men spend all their youth acquiring wealth only to spend all their wealth in old age trying to acquire youth.

Sounds good to me as well, we come, we fix, we eat, we fix.

send me the gauge cluster pigtails please. kthx.

I'll even show up to stand around and be pretty as well as micromanage.

Breakfast egg rolls, lunch egg rolls, dinner egg rolls, egg roll egg rolls.

Hey, that's like assuming all white people eat is sour cream and mayonnaise and I certainly do not.

>

of course not. throw in a little bit of mustard just to give it a kick.

Damn, if y'all are serious, I'll have to find a weekend thats free.

Come on over and you can grab it yo self.

Sometimes assumptions and stereotypes are true.... in this case, yes, I could actually eat egg rolls morning, day, and night.

At this point, my car will be back up before yours is.... Get to work!

so i guess that instead of "garage rescue" is "barn rescue" for you. So lets do this fam. Lets choose a date. Cheela is on you to make it (time)happen.

yeah, yours probably will be back up before mine Chris.

once wedding season blows over I'll have more time to get **** done.
I got an engagement shoot after work today that's 2 hours away and then a wedding all day this weekend as well. Should be a small break between weddings after that one so hopefully next week or so I'll find some garage/barn time. *fingers crossed*
