Default progress on the project, w/pics!

I managed to actually make some progress this morning for a change. I got the tranny all cleaned up, pulled apart the steering knuckles, spindles, tie rod ends and degreased and cleaned up everything. I must have removed about 5 pounds of greasy caked-on crud. Tomorrow the sandblasting begins, then the front end reassembly can start next weekend if all goes well.

Even though I've fought through lots of corrosion and stubborn spots, I am very thankful that the car has been relatively untouched and remains mostly original and un-bubba'd in these areas.

Looks good.

:thumbs:

It is a really nice feeling to put the nice newly painted, clean parts back on. I just finished doing my rear suspension, and the motor/tranny and steering will be started this weekend.

Now you're jumping the gun! The engine before/after pics come later this weekend. Actually, the engine isn't nearly as bad as the tranny. It must have been much easier to degrease the engine sometime over the past 34 years than the tranny.
