I must have walked past 50 series 2 powered cars in the salvage yard yesterday. Every time I see one I think about your project. It's cool. Get this thing ironed out and it should be quite rewarding. Thanks for letting us tag along on your build.

There's a reason they're in the junkyard.

I'm ready to kill it with fire!

Simmer down!

I am just going to come get it! I will send you a picture of me and the family eating ice cream in it when I get it fixed.

Diver down- driveshaft, crossmember, exhaust, and shift linkage next

You go all out! I've never bothered to pull any body panels except the hood before yanking an engine out.

Your car does look alot nicer than mine.....

Thanks. It doesn't have much room, so it makes life easier to just pull the front off. My ex-mechanic friend always tells me to "get the biggest chunk out you can, first". Sage advice that I try to keep in mind.

Free at last, free at last!

You'll make it great again and you'll do it fast

Flexplate rings like a bell. Probably not cracked. I guess it's a bearing... Fahk!
