dude, those impacts are the shit. better than any air impact i have ever seen. only downfall is that they are pretty much disposable. just a little advice, it will work a lot better if the battery is in a car thats running because you get a little more voltage to the impact which makes it twice as powerful.

i dont think he could have done that for a super obvious reason.....

Ok, still looking for the best way to remove the rear quarters and what's left of the front windshield.

Other than guitar string, what is there?

enjoy,

Jacques


I got half a window out like that, went through my whole guitar sad.gif the strings kept breaking after a while, I also used a hot air gun and sharp bladed Stanley knife and screwdriver...but that took ages.

Ok, i've been lazy lately.

I finished off most of the sound deadener and removed the front windshield. Pics to come soon.

Now i've hit another problem. I can't get my lower rear shock mount bolts out. I seem to have gotten the driver's side one out of the nut on the one side but now it seems to be just spinning....is there some trick im missing?

thanks,

Jacques

adding to the wonderful world of pain in the ass nuts and bolts, i stripped one of the screws holding the front disc on....any way to remove the disc without taking that screw out.

thanks,

Jacques

Drill out the head, and possibly some of the shaft of the screw. No need to replace it.

Well, it's done. In case you havent noticed, im parting the car out. Im buying a CRX with most of the stuff i wanted to do already done so i cant justify spending the time and money on this project.

RIP Big Red
