started tearing down the 7 *pics*
Alright so far the interior is all out, and the engine is pretty stripped. Nearly all the wires I wanted gone are out. Tell me what you think so far.

i think a 10mm socket rachet, 10mm wrench and a puerto rican kid (chris) to help me get out the bolts on the dash that are like lodged between the dash and the front windshield.

As I have my engine now it's about 8 bolts from being lose. Then just ****** it out. Me and one friend, should be able to get most engines out in about 2 to 4 hours. Depends on how stock it is. lol... The way mine is now should be about an hour to two. It will be a quick job.

Get that thing down to the shop. We'll ****** out that engine & trans in 15min. The picker will make quick work of it. Then we can cage it and get the little rican to work on the satin black, while we throw shards of Lexan at em LOL!
Yeah, no doubt. Jake is building a nasty boosted FB here. When it's done, the fun factor is going to off the scale! Straight ripping wheel stands from red lights. You'll need quick removing seat covers so you can get the brown marks out with little effort.

on topic: while the interior is out, consider laying seams along those stupid tack welds that hold unibody cars together. I know the first gens already have amazing chassis rigidity, but after many many years of abusive driving its bound to wear down. Looks great though!

I'm going to dry and get ahold of some dry ice, to see how well that method works. If it works good, the material will come out. if doesn't, it kept it's home this time around.

ha looks like mine on the inside...I took the engine out with a chain hoist...if you had a garage just go to the local hardware store and just pick up a cheap on and hook it to a beam in your garage and yank it out...really really easy that way...

BTW - First gen man, I'm just about in the same place you are in my teardown. I'm going to soda or sandblast all the crap out of my car.
