Lugnut and I did some work on the Type-D Mazda today. To start, I was delayed as a result of Soccer game. By the time I got back to the garage, Lugnut had started the process of clearing the shop and getting it ready for the second occupant. Here is the last look of the car as a Miata.
We then set our ratchets to left, got out the screw drivers, and an empty coffee can, then started from the back of the car and worked our way to the front. Here is the aftermath:
After a full day of striping you get a pile like this.
From this there are a few gems. For starters here is the small pile of change found on the floor boards.
$1.02 was collected which is great, but not enough.
Then about nine items have been pulled that might be worth something on the open market (i.e. Craiglist). Here is where I ask for your help. We need to move a few items! Though Thrown Rod got the car for a great deal, we need about $100 to be within the lemon rules. So, if you know anyone that could use some Mazda Car parts for their car or simply as memento, that would get great.
Here is the list of parts that I think may move and I have linked the Craiglist posting.

You guys test the car still starts and runs?

ReplyDeleteWe didn't even try because the barbarians where at work and the following prevented us:
1) The water in the radiator was drained to disconnect the AC heating core.
2) The ECU was disconnected and removed to protected if from possible water damage from residual water in the AC heating core that was located directly above.
3) The air box with it's mass flow sensor has been removed to get the AC compressor out. (Note: wrenches where FIRMLY placed in the left ratchet setting to remove bolts).
4) The battery was disconnect, so as to not case a new problem.
5) It was already a long day, it would have take some time to get all this back on, and we are getting the car ready for the roll bar which means we want the ECU and battery off line when welding occurs.
