Its been sat for a while, lots of rusty parts and a few oil leaks but body work seems good underneath

Airbox and Battery out ahead of prep for engine pull

20210712_184533.thumb.jpg.87f4553bdb3c340c5d6b200b74b5ba23.jpg

Manifold off

20210713_174448.thumb.jpg.f451c426d13f4ebdb429ea23bc44b7ea.jpg

Alternator, Aircon pump and pipework off - Aircon will not be going back on

20210713_220054.thumb.jpg.bf6291fa0f73dfa494d48e3553761cf9.jpg

Headlights and centre grill out. Aftermarket oil cooler removed as well, as there will be a 6 speed manual transmission going in no need for that to go back on. Radiator had a leak so that will be replaced.

Underseal liberally coated but only a little surface rust to be addressed, fuel lines will need that rust sorting as well

20211230_153743.thumb.jpg.ab4fd8bf00bfc9b824fc21e727fb8798.jpg

Rear brake lines have been replaced at some point but not the tidiest job
