Same as mine....

But i got the bonus gift of tuberculosis as well!

So yours may be better than mine...

 

Interior work done in between hospital and work today. Nothing left but the hvac box in there. Still haven't figured out how to get the shift cables out of the floor though.

My memory is a little fuzzy, but there's the rubber thing that they go through, right?  There are a couple large-ish machine screws that come up from the underside of the car, if I'm remembering correctly.

Wae: thanks! I saw some threads coming upwards through the floor, but didn't think anything of them. 

Ill look at that tomorrow.

If it is inconvenient to find/reach the fasteners cut a big chunk of tin out where the cables go through the floor. The shell is scrap when you get done anyway.

Cool. Enginewill be out tonight, and then i can move the car to finish getting exhaust out of the way. Should see them then.

Hoping to call the scrapper tomorrow night after work and make the carcass go away.

I feel that was harder than it really needed to be.

However, next one should be easier now that i have practice....

At that angle, with that lighting, that's a pro-shop looking shop.

Reman or junkyard tag? Yes. which one? The paint makes me think JY, but that is just a guess I have seen the heat sensitive tags on both.

Lack of decent paint on block plus scribbled paint pen mark makes me think JY.

Yup. Agreed. Or a reman with a metric berkeleyload of miles. But probably junkyard. 

Hopefully it will be squeaky clean by nightfall tomorrow

Unlikely she'll kill you until after your mess is cleaned up. Women tend to be smart that way. (I stay alive that way LOL)
