Parts Car - Gone Posted by Matt Grimes [Email] (#2198) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Matt Grimes) on Sat, 29 Sep 2018 13:35:36 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The tow truck came and got the parts car this morning (happy dance). The vacant space in the garage has been a long time coming. I never expected to have the silly thing for a year...a couple of months at most I had thought. But, life has a tendency to get in the way!
This experience has given me a whole new respect for folks that take on a body-off restoration job. I probably got close to 80% of the way and was more than happy to call it quits. It's remarkable how many layers of stuff are packed into a (somewhat) modern car. I suspect I pulled off way more parts than really makes sense...but it gets a bit addictive. "Well, there's only three or four nuts holding that on...might as well grab it too."
The engine/tranny are in a crate in the corner of the garage and there are multiple boxes up in the "garage attic" waiting for that "someday" when I might need it.
No rest though. Now I can finally move on to replacing the timing chain and tensioners in my 2002 9-3 Hatchback and get it back on the road.
