project rex pics finally available

here are the pics i promised.

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2213090

today i drained the fluids, sprayed a can of wd-40 in the plug holes while a friend manually cranked the engine (did this to protect parts from rusting/siezing until i can tear it apart) and removed the rubber side molding from the doors/fenders.

hey want to know a cool fact about WD-40...scientists were trying to make a water-displacement solution and it was the fortieth try that they were successful...WD-40...but I don't know if I'd use WD-40...I'd probably use fluid film...more expensive but hey...shes my baby

thats an interesting bit of info....never could figure out what the WD stood for lol

only reason i used wd-40 was that it is cheap. i don't have much money right now. matter of fact all i have at the moment is $5 for gas so i can go to work.

Yep but my 7 will be at home I bought a new clutch but havent had it installed. I am looking for a light weight flywheel so I can put them in at the same time. I will be there in a Mazda Tribute with a couple sets of wheels and other parts for sale.

I have a set of 14" Weds wheels that I will be selling and some other random 1st gen parts but the majority are 2nd gen parts.
