Good stuff....
With a bit of practice, and components that are not rusted tight.. You can get the engine out quite quickly.. Takes me about 1 1/2 hrs to drop the 24V 4x4 out of my Sapphire.. TT

i stripped my sierra to an empty shell in 6 hours but i did have airtools tools and the use of my mates industrial garage. it was quite a nice job actually as i cleaned the engine bay with a diesel powered hot soap jet washer the day before.
wishbones look nice and shiny have they just been brushed up for painting or have they been plated? |
