History:

Original owner imported from NJ, she brought it to Canada, sold it about a year or so after to a guy in Sudbury. He rarely drove it, it sat in a field for 7 years, then was purchased by some idiot here in Sudbury. he beat the hell out of it, then sold it to Ian. Ian's had it for 4 years, on the road for 2 months thanks to me.

Here's today's progress.

Here's what the engine bay looked like when we started:


So we started tearing into it:







Progress!!


Time to pull the motor:



And it's out... we're a little happy:
