Paul, I'm gonna shoot you a call during my lunch break.


*edit*
Thanks, Adam.
I'll make sure I still have my fuel line tools when I get home tonight. I'll start the PB treatment tomorrow morning, when I'm off & will be starting my own tear down of the V6s interior & the dashes on both cars. Sawzall & cutoff wheel I have, just gotta find my blades. Worst case, I'll go out & buy new ones. Flare wrenches, I have a standard metric set; not standard--Bring these, I would say. Zip ties, 100 pack enough? Pic tools, no tengo, but perhaps I can borrow from a buddy, or someone can bring with. What interior shens do you speak of?

Damn, my daily decided to act up. If I can get it back in line, I can bring the following (providing my brother doesn't need them to work on his Fiero)

2 half inch breaker bars
a 15 lb 5 foot pipe (we use it as a breaker bar as it fits perfect over several ratchets and breaker bars, haven't found something that it couldn't break loose yet)
4 ft pry bar
a couple jackstands
Torx sockets, english allen sockets
3/8, 1/2, 1/4, socket sets all are fairly complete english and metric, with universals and adapters, but some might be buried in my project.......
Naturally box wrenches, screwdrivers
Got a hand sledge

Well you get the idea. May want to watch the weather too, if its going to pour rain, might not be a great idea.

Thanks, Shadow, but I got a V6 that I will be swapping my T/A stuff into already.
As a matter of fact, I've already begun stripping the interior down.

Me, V, LS1ow, & MyFirstZ will be trying to get a few more small things done on the cars tomorrow.

Both dashes are coming out tomorrow. Probably try to swap fuel tanks and maybe remove front clips as well.

Sorry Mike, but I'll be thrashing on my own daily driver this weekend. The rack and pinion is failing. I ordered parts to get that back on the road, but working on that means I'm out on giving you a hand. I also had to get tires as the right front blistered and was at the cords. I guess it decided to play jealous and wanted me to give it attention as opposed to the Trans Am. However, if you guys don't finish and need to setup another day to finish the job, I'll join you then, providing the thrash on my own car goes well.

No sweat, Chris. I think we should have enough hands on deck for Saturday.



V6 accessories and harness were removed and most of the K-member bolts are already off, with the exception of 2, and the trans mounts. The V6 is about ready to drop out, I think. If I can get it out before Saturday, I plan to prep & paint the engine bay black.

Also found two big holes in the floorboard, where rust ate away at the floor. Will hopefully be doing some cutting & welding to resolve that.


Ls1ow dropped off a lower air box, and said he can make me a new ram air intake, identical to that of my (now destroyed) Chris1313ra intake.

Special thanks to Ls1ow & MyFirstZ for their help today!

I have a feeling that rust is from a Ttop leak and sitting so beware when its all done.

I got confirmations from LT1_8U (Jim), MyFirstZ (Anthony), LS1ow (Mickey), DonNJ (Don), V (Paul), and ZuuhlsT/A (Kurt).

Try to be here at 10 please, guys.
The motor of the V6 is already out. I have a cherry picker and an air compressor. Bring sockets, swivels, extensions, JACKS, Jackstands, strut tower brace, dollys, screwdrivers and torx bits.

See you all tomorrow!


LTs1ow and SweetBMXrider, if you guys can make it up tomorrow it would be tremendous.

Mike I'm definitely out, starting to tear down the daily revealed more issues. Bearings on the way out and ball joints need to be done. I may as well just rebuild the whole front end.

Hope it all goes well for you tomorrow. I see you're half done as the V6 is out. Good luck guys.
