The lift is finally in and I have to admit it is pretty sweet.
Car goes up, engine... doesn't!
Everything at this point is about removing stuff, which is heaps of fun. You can see we have the engine and the whole FWD drivetrain out. What you probably can't see is the exhaust, rear sub-frame, suspension and fuel tank which come out as well.
Don't forget the tape and Skerples.
We buy the car and it's perfect - and by perfect I mean cheap. We were looking for a 2 litre, AWD, turbo. What we have is a 1995 1.8 litre, FWD non-turbo and money to spare. So the size of the project is already out of hand but the budget is fine, for now.
Now we start to pretend to start working on it but actually it will sit for another two months while we buy and install the lift...
I have a vision for a small-ish racewagon with loads of power, all wheel drive and relatively low maintenance/replacement costs. Along with that I couldn't stop thinking about a six. A flat one.
Turns out that there's really only one option...
Finger tight for now
