Wheels, Bumpers, Fenders, Etc.

We've spent the last couple of days removing wheels, bumpers, fenders, etc. Here's a shot of Justin removing the rear passenger fender...


Jake had fun with the impact wrench removing the wheels and gettin' the car up on jacks.

Once we had the fenders and bumpers out of the way, we removed the steering column. That was a bit tricky. Luckily we had an extra steering column laying around to use as a reference to know how to remove the thing.

Speedometer cable was next. (For next time, remember to remove the cable from the brake drum first).

We attacked the pan bolts maybe a little too hard. All of the driver side bolts broke. Only one broke on the passenger side. Go figure. But, I think we're about ready to remove the body from the pan. We will probably remove much of the interior before we actually seperate the two.

We're also keeping a list of needed parts (we're at about a page and a half already) and bagging/boxing everything. I'm keeping a parts wish list at wolfsburgwest.com and the price is climbing (ouch!). We may be able to pick up some parts at the upcoming UVSC car show/swap meet next weekend at Thanksgiving Point.
