Nothing was really too challenging during the teardown once I got the thing into the garage. Here I am with the kids acting like I really know what I am doing.

The parts were all are in pretty good shape.

Of course, loosening up some of those bolts on the front and rear suspension wasn’t easy. But I borrowed this tool from my local shop. It worked great!

Dropping the rear suspension out felt like such an accomplishment to me since those long bolts were REALLY stuck.

The engine/transmission had already been removed and rebuilt (very basic rebuild) when I picked up the car. The good thing is that I didn’t have to pull it myself. The bad thing is that I don’t know what gets hooked up to what now. I will definitely be asking for help on that later.

So here is the stripped shell ready to be carted off.
