I finally got around to doing some more work. I pulled the engine and transmission. First time ever doing that. Next time, I’ll remember to drain all the fluids.

Pulled the door skin off the passenger side door so I could use the metal for patches. Plan on doing the same with the driver side door.

I removed the driver side door glass & window motor and all the internals from both doors. Both doors are emtpy shells now. I think I am going to remove the door skins to save the metal for places I need to patch.

I removed the passenger side door glass and power window motor. Planning on selling them on eBay since I bought another set of rust-free doors that already have the glass and motors in them.

Everything is off the outside and the inside of the firewall. All that is left on the car is the rear bumper, rear suspension, and front subframe (with engine & tranny).

The heater core and all parts for the HVAC on both sides of the firewall are off. I also removed the windshield wiper assembly.

The windshield is out. It was a lot easier than the rear window – it helps to have the proper tools for the job. I bought a tool that has an angled blade and also has a cable attached so I could guide the blade with one hand and pull with the other.

The steering column, dashboard, and most of the wiring including the fuse panel came out today.

With the help of Lily (my 5 year-old daughter), I removed all the instruments and other controls from the dashboard.

I removed the starter and transmission cable. If I take the transmission out with the engine, I think I have everything unbolted and ready to go.
