New Buick ABS pump+accumulator in place, and battery removed from front.
Getting ready for doing T-belt, inspect tensioner, do coolant hoses, radiator, etc.
A lot of misc. removed parts, and finally a new thermostat inserted into the old housing.
As part of stripping the interior and "luxury" functions I also remove unnecessary wiring.
So much "cleaner" without any AC components or any power steering components.
Perhaps it will not be a $750 milano at the end, but it is definitely on a budget - just ask Judy
Ok, that is it for now. Next step is to change the t-belt and put together the coolant system with new hoses, and new radiator (and no heater core) once all parts are in. After that the rear battery location will be completed, and it is on to replacing mounts on Dedion, transmission, rebuilding shifter linkage, possibly pull LSD for rebuild, ...
Oh, forgot to mention, I'm also in the process of chipping out the insulation on the floor - fun. Will the ice trick work? Stay tuned...
