Sat Feb 07: HALF CUT CHOP DAY

8am sitting at maccas waiting for Mik (Sik Astina). We have a yarn as we do and then cruise around to the workshop

Screamin Performance
35 Chapman Street
Fairy Meadow NSW 2519

Darryl (owner) rocks up about 8:45 to open up and after a quick hello we roll the half cut out to the parking lot to begin stipping parts.



323 BG GTX (estimated to be earlier 90s model)

First came off the bonnet then micks shirt... sexy sexy boy!
We proceeded to stip the easy **** first, I got keen and started on the guards and mik pulled the indicators and headlights out.




We realised after taking some stuff off that we forgot to take a pic of the halfcut standard... hence the missing headlights


Headlights, indicators, grill and some other stuff


front bar

Next came the radiator...after discovering it was full, we drained the radiator into a catcher thing darryl lent us. We then removed the air con system which allowed the radiator to lift up. This is quite a task when you have no pliers and only a set of wire cutters




our collection

Darryl had brought over an engine crane incase we got excited and pull the motor out. We started on the engine mounts, got 2 off but the last had seized up. The halfcut was also sitting on wheels attached to the brake rotors so it was deemed way too much effort to pull the motor out. (plus I was paying darryl to do it anyway)

It was starting to hit around 11-11:30 and it was friking hot so we decided to pull the rest of the small stuff out (bottles etc) then clean up.

Mik had spent a little time in the cabin (Well wots left of it anyway) and found some genuine second hand jap ciggies and some other crap. He pulled the ecu and instrument cluster out and we feed the main harness through the firewall to the engine bay.



Only thing left at this point it too finish the harness removal and grap the stuff off the firewall and the gearbox and transfer and the thing can get wrecked.

Big Thanks go out to Mik for his help.

Car will be going down to the workshop on Sat 14th for fitting.[/img][/url]
