So not much has happened on the wago as the past 3 weeks was the end of uni semester and then exams straight away, so I was jam packed finishing off assignments/studying for exams. With uni semester & exams completed, it's all guns blazing on the wagon.
First off however I needed to sort out the parts wagon so we can scrap it and get it out of the way. The motor was unbolted and resting on chassis, unbolted a few brackets and then.. just lifted the car over the motor lol..
Then dragged the motor out and onto the crane to drop the box as I'll keep it for spares, rare RT4WD box. Also it's quite easy to drop the subframe/steering rack assembly with the car like this, should do more often on other cars..
A fellow wagon owner in VIC has a spare wagon which took a hit to the drivers rear corner, for him to source that section would be impossible as these cars are so hard to find, luckily I have this scrapping wagon. Weather was too hot for me so I let mi old man go ham with the grinder.
Just waiting for a mate..
And that was that. Got some other random bits of metal lying around, the motor that came in this and a broken gearbox or two and chucked it all in, ready for scrap later this week. Next Saturday I'll hopefully do a little bit of work on the wagon however Sunday I have a track day at Wakefield so no wago on that day. I'm really going to push for all rust to be repaired by the time I go to Japan next January 8th, as when I'm back I want to register it and drive it, even with the paint as is.
Also picked up some spare RT4WD rear trailing arms tonight off the guy I bought the scrap wagon off, he decided he didn't need them no more and yeah.. I like spares.
