What A Difference Two Weeks Can Make

Then i will be ready for the poly bushing project

I just started on my bushing install tonight. Took the entire front suspension out.
Getting these old bushings off is going to be a bitch. They're fused to the aluminum. When the control arm rotates, it tears the bushing internally rather than sliding on it.
I've had the parts sittin around awhile and today decided what the hell, lets start unbolting ****. If you need any advice on it, gimme a ring. Have fun figuring out how to get the passenger side upper a-arm.

yo, Agent - that tent looks almost professional. There was something lovable 'bout last years tent, tho...
You might want to install a circulation fan. If I had stayed east, I was going to get one of those inflatable tent thingys.
CentralCoaster - the tool you need is a torch. Melt those bastards out.

I'd suggest leaving a vent opening and run some sort of circulation fan in there. The moisture has to evaporate or you'll notice corrosion start up on everything metal, like alternator, etc. Not a pretty picture.

I miss the excitement and suspense of last years garage. Now what do we bet on!?
+7 C....Maybe they should add a Tour event for late Jan in the great white north. At least make it interesting, I'm tired of seeing the guys go 20+ under for 4 days. I do like Leornard though, so I'm happy he found his way back to the top.
