More to come out

Monday, October 24th, 2005

Engine and transmission are out, don’t try taking them both out attached together, I don’t think that is the way it was supposed to happen.

Engine’s out, all that is left is the grill, steering box, and some wiring.

Nothing left but the dash and windshield.

On the lift

Finally on the lift, the last step before making it to the rotisserie. Also a future project is reunited with the Alpine after being apart for a couple weeks.

Removal

Saturday, October 8th, 2005

Gas tanks, trunk lid and other rear parts have all been removed. The bumper is stubborn and does not want to come off. The reverse lights are still there holding it up.

Many engine parts are coming off.

Finally starting a Sunbeam

Finally it is time to get it into the shop and get started.

A not so nice surprise behind the headlight.

The tear down is going well for the first day.

Still an engine compartment full of parts.
