Memorial Day Weekend 2010 Engine bay and dash

This weekend was a good in terms of the tear down. I removed everything from the engine bay, including the wiring harnesses. I also dropped the dash, heater box and cleaned up all the tools and parts I had laying around.

For the most part the tear down is done. Well, I'm sure I can do more in dash area, but the big stuff is out and ready to be refurbished.

I found a little bit more surface rust once I removed the heater box, but nothing that will require welding.

I also cleaned up the 87+ spindles and brakes I bought. Just enough to get all the brake dust, dirt etc. off. Next weekend I'll take them apart and primer/paint the spindles and dust shields.

I also finally finished the rear brakes. What a pain the drum brake adjuster was to install!

Hopefully I'll have a plan for replacing the frame rail in the next week or two!
