Good god. I can't believe dad and I got my car finished today as well. It literally took aaaall day long, during extremely hot weather, but we did it.
I had to let him do a good portion of the under-car work because my shoulders and arms are just trashed from working on his car yesterday.
We are making dinner now, so I'll just attach a crud-load of photos...
Apple weather screen shot showing 79°F temperatures and the same (or higher) forecast for the rest of the week
my car on wood blocks with the boot and bonnets both open
draining the old oil from the Fumoto valve in the oil pane preparation for tearing into same
two cute blue bottoms
oil draning with header pipe around the yellow oil filter
new equal-length headers laying on my back seat along with the oil and filter needed to complete the job once parts are swapped
work under way with boxes scattered about and the sun beating down
old headers removed with old oilpan still in place
dad nearly done removing the old oil pan which dangles from the remaining screws
dad wrenching on the underside of the car with tools and other items close at hand
the old oil pan splash baffle and dip tube beside an empty our draining pan
oil filter flange with towel inserted to prevent drips while working around it
header studs and clean header face ready to accept new header flange
new splash baffles are stamped and pressed sheet metal and kind of pretty
my engine bay with missing intercooler and blow off valve laying where the intercooler should be
new oilpan splash baffles and dip tube in place
opposide header face ready for headers
dad continues to work under the car
old headers out of block
