As soon as I clean it and get the brakes lines, clutch line, and lca put in I'll be dropping It in. What's mostly holding me up is fo.ding the right brake lines for up front. I'm not sure how much I need and my jack is gone.

#303779 Hey i never said i was smart. but i was creative haha. yes this is seriously what i did to get the car high enough to get the engine under. and yes i may or may not of shit my pants at the same time. it was really scary haha.

Image

its not in and hooked up. its kind of just sitting in it right now haha. still have to get the mounts hooked up an the old axles removed.

Image

the reason for doing this is cause i've had alot of people eyeing my garage so i thought i would make it really hard for them an put it in the bay and remove all my jacks from the garage hahaha. little bit hard to steal a 400+ pound engine out of a car with no jacks or jack stands or wood to put on the jack.

P.S. i did slip off a bolt i was trying to remove an punched myself straight in the eye hahaha. it was worth it,

#303872 ok so i was playing with the hatch today. took the front tires off an put jack stands under the front end.

i then thought i would check out the amount of front brake line i needed. atleast i just needed the top half of the front lines. this is all i had

Image

just need to check. these are the back brake lines for the passenger side correct? if so i need all new of the driver side.

#303890 Man, I can't believe people leave cars in this condition! It blows.

Did you end up finding Krud Kutter? I used it to clean both of my bikes that were ridiculously muddy today. It works so well!
