WideBody Teardown Part II

Mark_Dorman · 06-09-2009, 07:38 PM

Continuing from the last thread. Here is the rest of the teardown of that nasty widebody Turbo

____________

It was about the Third week of working on the Turbo. This is the motor drop...Special Thanks again to Matt and Ren for the help

We started of by making sure everything was completely disconnected.

Engine is all ready

We dropped the cross member...

Double checked everything...

Soon the engine was chained up and ready to remove

With some girly muscle we lifted the back and slide the engine out...

Angie and Ren playing in the engine bay

Hanging out and kickin' it....

Literally Hanging out

The sweet taste of victory

Angie's future Garage Poster...

And the prize!

This was the most fun I've ever had working on a car. We had a blast dropping the engine as you can see. Wish you all could have been there.

Hope you all make it for the V6 swap

Soon! The motor is out and waiting for some freshening up. Then I just need a handful of parts (flywheel and waiting on the motor mount).
