Fun with WordPress! I'm still learning, though. Not too bad for a first try, I think.
Anywhoo... meanwhile, the car has been worked on just a couple times.
But we've come to realize that the black widow population has increased exponentially since we brought the damn thing home! yeesh... we've been finding them EVERYWHERE. I'm tempted to paint the damn thing black with a giant hourglass on the roof. *heebie jeebies*
That is why we have our handy dandy Spider Removal Droid!
Here are a few more pics of the progress so far.
The interior hasn't changed much past this state:
Robb stripped out the wiring harness and most of the other bits and pieces in there.
Here's the HVAC and radiator, sitting next to the 'parts pile'. (ie: things Kristina will be sorting through, cleaning and painting).
We made a trip to Home Depot to get a shelf for (mostly) Fiesta parts. Look at all that dirty stuff. I'm itching to start sanding and painting....
Messy messy messy! The drivetrain will come out soon, once we get an engine stand and a hoist. Then I'll really be able to go to town on stuff.
I see some GUNK, rubber gloves, and a wire brush in my future....
Of course first, we'll have to fix a couple trouble spots. Here's one - the battery tray and it's surrounds.
And then in the interior, right below where the HVAC lived:
All things considered, it's not 'too' bad. Could be worse!
The next couple of weekends we'll be busy with family stuff, but then we're going to get back at it, and hopefully have time to pull the motor and organize the garage a bit more.
Also, in a few weeks we're heading to SEMA, and maybe we'll be able to source some fun bits for the car, or at least get some more ideas as far as interior, cage, seats, etc. I've also got to get on top of sourcing a header, XR2 intake manifold, and a mild cam.
Oh, and did I mention that I'm going to attempt to rebuild the carb? LOL! That will be a few posts by itself, for sure!
And no, I haven't done the rendering yet! But it's in my head, that's for sure. I'm just still undecided on the final wheels.
Thank you for tuning in, until we meet again.... :)
