Default Wrecked Car Pics

I finally got around to taking some pictures......and removing a few parts.

The first set shows some of what I did Saturday.

Man, those pics make me wanna cry. So much hard work down the tubes.... sorry for your loss man.

Question: Did you have weld-in subframe connectors by chance? Just curious if they would have helped minimize or prevented the buckling in the floor area?

Dude that is some sad stuff right there. Looks like you wouldn't have wanted a passenger that day.

THe sub frames are bolt in, and they are the only thing that stopped the pole from coming in further. If I would ahve had my door bars in, maybe the car would have been saved. But yeah, a passenger would have gotten SERIOUSLY hurt that day.

Its funny all the little buckles that I've found. The pass fender support, the floor behind the back seat, and the 2 peices of metal that separated under the cowl on the drivers side. But at least I can see an easy way to get the engine out....after some cutting.

The bitch is going to be getting the roll bar out. It tired my sawzall.....dulled the blade in 2 minutes. So now I'm going to try my die grinders with a cut-off wheel. If that doesn't get it I'll be hauling the piece of junk over to someones house to borrow a plasma cutter....

Very sad to see, it looks like it hit the side in about the best place possible though.

I had lots of practice back when I was a pup.....

And it's hard to say just how many pieces it will be in when the scrap truck comes to get it. I might be able to throw on the truck piece-by-piece myself.
