Here’s some fresh ones from the weekend. I made good progress I think. Thursday I got the interior all back together and this time everything works! List of things fixed thurs: Power seat Power door locks, power door lock actuator lock cylinder on driver door hard to turn. (latch was frozen from being old as balls). Stereo installed, & wired. 6x9s put in the deck. Fixed my shop heater too! Heat FTW! Thursday was fucking baller because I fixed everything without having to buy a single fucking part. Saturday while wifey was at work I was able to get the tranny out too. First I dropped the pan, and it didn’t smell / look the greatest, so I was all like fuck it. I always wanted to rebuild a crapomatic anyways. Here’s a few fresh ones. ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SYb5XeoELVI/AAAAAAAAA1c/lImOGB15rdg/s800/DSC02149.JPG](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SYb5XeoELVI/AAAAAAAAA1c/lImOGB15rdg/s800/DSC02149.JPG) ![http://lh3.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SYb5XmIetOI/AAAAAAAAA1k/1B7ITTrz3wM/s800/DSC02151.JPG](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SYb5XmIetOI/AAAAAAAAA1k/1B7ITTrz3wM/s800/DSC02151.JPG) ![http://lh3.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SYb5X09ZmzI/AAAAAAAAA1s/7HIIYKlg_R0/s800/DSC02152.JPG](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/SYb5X09ZmzI/AAAAAAAAA1s/7HIIYKlg_R0/s800/DSC02152.JPG) This is a pic of the spare 200-4r I picked up in Rochester for $50!

I went to town with wire wheels on a drill. Yes it took a while. But I just took off the majority of the surface rust, then Por-15’d it. If you want to plate it you should bead blast the parts, it’s probably easier. ---

i think i’ll be wire wheeling myself into eternity… i don’t have a bead blaster, and i can use my grinder on the places i will plate. ---
