Got the 78 moved to it's final resting place in my friends garage, and dissasembly began today. These are just a couple pics from earlier in the session. It's actually much more torn apart right now. Windshield is out - interior except the dash is out. Engine is almost out. All doors are removed, etc.

Seems sad in a way!

It is - I drove it up there, and just as I pulled into the driveway, it died! As if to protest what was about to occur. The rock I had jamed in the choke, which had stayed put for at least 50 miles, had decided to fall out. I relpaced it with another from the driveway, and drove it on in. But look how many other cars will benifit from it's parts! At least three that I can count - maybe more.

 

It was a pretty good sport about the drive out there. Was about a 45 minute drive, and I decided to open it up on the freeway and see what it would do. I hit 95 on the speedo.

 

Todd - I payed closer attention this time to the tranny, and how it was shifting - sounded good, felt real smooth - downshifts like it's supposed to. I did not notice a single thing wrong with it.

but that's the way it works though...

 

It's sad that this one will be parted out, but it's great that other vehicles will get some new life. The more the merrier.

 

This has a 1600 right? GD, what's happening to the engine? where's it goin?

Into my Brat!
