well didn't get much done this weekend. the tranny is still in there but I've got to a point where I may be able to get it out within the next week or so. actually I have family coming in on friday, and I'm flip flopping crews this week so I will work all day tomorrow and then noon to midnight tuesday through thursday and then I have friday off, so I may get it done then.
anyway, yesterday was taken up by doing maintenence on my infiniti, oil change and tire rotation, the oil filter on that car is tiny, and the oil an is practicaly a panel, but at least they were right next to eachother. so I'm good until I hit 50K and then I'll take her to the dealer for a major service.
well, back to the subject at hand. I am going to need an air chisel I bought a 1/2 cold steel carbon chisel and those dang heater box screws are impervious to my (lack of) strength. its about 50 degrees outside, and I'm sweatin like its 100. but anyway, I got a little bored of the front of the car so I turned my attention to the rear. I got all of the lights and the rear bumpers off. its funny but the back up lights were not connected. I took off the plate holder and I also removed the trunk lid and hinges. it all started with dropping the gas tank. so I jacked up the rear, put it on stands, and then I removed the drain plug, but nothing happened. odd, I thought, 8 years ago I filled the tank before I put it iin storage, where did all the gas go? so to be safe I put the plug back in, and started to remove the bolts. I even removed the fuel line and a drizzle of gas came out but nothing else. so I put a jack under the tank before taking the last couple bolts out and everything went smothly. until I released the pressure on the jack, the tank came crashing down FULL of gas!!! I was like WTF I dragged the tank out from under the car, and dumped the contents into a bucket, and the stuff pored out in many different colors ranging from orange to black with chunks of black stuff. so I'm probably going to either purchase a new tank, or get one made. one for slightly more fuel capacity, and if I buy a new one it will be to avoid the whole tank cleaning. when I figure out what I'm gonna do with it, I'll probably give it away. so in closing not much this weekend, but got a lot done in a little time. with my working hours shifting temporarily, and family coming to town, I may not get much done the next week or two, but I will do what I can. if I can get my engine sold, I will be able to get some pnumatic tools to get some more progress done but untill then, I gotta work around the areas where I have some problem bolts. have a good week everybody.
