It's official

[JPSmit]

Well, as of 20 minutes ago, Ms. Tris is officially apart. There is not another part that can come off her. I had to cut one bolt tonight, broke 2 others early on and accidently broke off a captive nut. Thank goodness for southern cars! Anyway, from here on in everything is rebuilding - nowhere to go but up! Hurray.

Excellent, upward and onward. Good feeling.

Nice work. You've passed that magical moment I hear about where you can actually start repairing and replacing, and not just dismantling. That's the fun part, so I hear. Of course, it's also the expensive part, but who's counting... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
