Default Stripped bare!!
We got to doing the last bits of the car part out today. With a ton of help from travis and some help from todd over the phone we were finally able to get this darned 1uz out!







All thats left is to junk the shell and sell whatever is left.

My garage looks like an auto junk yard...

Dont think Hugh is planning on selling his SC, he loves it too much. As for his motor, yeah he water ogged the living daylights out of it, but I think he plans to bring his baby back to life.

Going onto day 4 now I think.

Day for the interior

Day for Exterior and misc stuff

Day for Engine

Day for clean up

Today we're gonna try pulling the brakes/rotors/calipers + subframe + diff and cut the car into pieces.
