I have taken out already the exhausts and intake.
Fortunatly I have a stainless steel exhaust pipe on the car, and it came out quite easy, just few scratches on my fingers for the rear lower 3 ones!!!!!
Its the only thing not rusted on the car...!
I bought this car in New York 3 years ago, on the web. I wanted a car engine running and auto gear box ok. Its for sure the only things ok on the car.
Everything is in poor condition. I suppose that the owner had few bumps all around, then the car stood outside. Some guys have tried to make a paint but stopped putting filler on the holes and left the car like that, just after Primer.
So I strip completly the car, discover her passed real life, and try to give her a chance for a new start in Laos.
Yes I hope Gary that its gona be a piece of cake, but there is a lot more stuff on this engine than the Pontons....
Concerning the wood, I am disapointed by the quality change from the older ones. On the Pagoda they made the woods very cheap, and the chromes too....!
I will make them new from nice local wood for ever!
I don't think I can take out the engine this week because I have trip to France for one week.
Anyway we catchup later.
GGR, what did you mean by : "thread" on this forum concerning the restoration of your Pagoda, like Andy did.
You meant kind of followup Topic for that engine removal or complete restauration project?
