The great part out.

You want parts?  I'll give you parts.

Stripping out a rusty car is a lot of fun.  You don't have to worry about leaning on the fenders, throwing tools on the roof or generally anything you would normally worry yourself with when working on a car.

Took about 10h total with a friend helping.  Good times.

6 on the floor.

I bought a manual transmission which was fortunately able to be shipped in this old beat up civic.


I brought up some RPF1s I got the weekend before and Caitlin and I drove back in whiteout conditions.  The motor is strong and the trans pretty smooth, but the car was rusted badly and the suspension had no life left in any part.  The car drove home...but it was a fight the whole way.  I'll be keeping the trans and manual parts for the swap but parting out the rest (minus the wheels).
