Ok, pulled all the bodywork (minus doors and hatch) today, along with the engine, all remaining suspension components, front crossmember, radiator, oil cooler, exhaust, crossover pipe, turbo etc. Need to pull one more brace (4 13mm bolts) and the torque tube is on the ground. Exhausted. ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8141.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8141.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8147.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8147.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8159.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8159.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8168.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8168.jpg) _gasp_ where’d it go! ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8162.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8162.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8165.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8165.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8169.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8169.jpg) ---

Thanks guys, and Burke you know how I work when I want to get something done. Hell how fast did I get those bolts out of your caliper bracket? 😉 Tomorrow I’ll be helping Phil, but hopefully putting the engine on the stand this weekend and pulling the suspension apart for the new trick multipiece front crossmember. This job has been considerably easier: ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8139.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/100_8139.jpg) Thankfully I’ve just been helping with that, it’s not my project. ---

Ok, didnt get THAT much done today. Actually decided to get some sleep and my back was bothering me. Anyway, here’s today’s progress: ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/DSCF5870.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/DSCF5870.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/DSCF5875.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/DSCF5875.jpg) Spec Stage 3k and stock flywheel ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/DSCF5877.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/DSCF5877.jpg) Engine with the crossover pipe of doom. ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/DSCF5878.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/DSCF5878.jpg) Another look at the current mess. ![http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/DSCF5883.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/Nov06/DSCF5883.jpg) On the stand, waiting on me to pull the accessories and headers off. I also started pulling apart the front suspension today, but doubt I’ll get back to that till late tomorrow or Monday. ---
