just thought to start up a new topic so i can post all my upcoming pictures of the luvs body work, engine work, and interior work.

pics coming sunday.

the engine is getting pulled out saturday night :D everythings already been disconnected. i'm just waitin on the hoist right now.
one problem though, i don't have a engine stand :( does any of you guys know of a homemade way to prop the engine up and hold it up in place ???

Just go to Harbor Freight and BUY an engine stand.....they are like $39.00 right now.It will be well worth it in the long run.
In Colo spgs they are located at Circle and Fountain on S.E. corner,not hard to find at all. 8) :wink:

got the motor out over the weekend. man, it fought me the whole way. pulled the block, trans, xfer case at once. i was just going to pull the block but i was unable to get to the center top bolt thats holds the tranny to the block out :x
got it on the engine stand.. the bolts snapped and you know what smashed to the ground 8O :oops: block looks okay though..

also painted the whole front clip, engine bay, and the interior. then i put on a nice clear coat and man it shines. to bad the fenders will be covering up most of my work :(

also did alot of body work too.

looks like the 1.8 maybe not going back in. i have my eye on a 350 here in town :twisted:
