Hit something with a hammer long enough, and it'll eventually break. Headliner completely out!

Re: 20CiviC02Si's "TK (Time Killer)" Project
Well i was a bum and really didn't start working on the car until about 7pm. Before then i made a run to the hardware store to pick up two shop lights and tubes for them. Hung one up and then started working on cutting out the rear seat frames. Removed the small half completely, and cut through the tube frame on the second. However the hack saw i was using doesn't like to cut through the sheet metal backing. So i have to pick up a metal sheer to finish off the job.

A reciprocating saw would have been awesome to have. 30 minute job by hand would have taken 2 minutes with one.
I really need to start saving up for a larger workspace and tools. But a 10x20 garage is better than nothing at all. So i'll work with what i have.

When I get back home tomorrow night plan on getting the last seat pan out. Then drop the car down and repositioning it so that I can remove the passenger door panel.

Well it has been a very busy and eventful day. Shot down to Indiana and met up with my buddy Jason Morse and Tim Hulce. Picked up the coilover setup for the build from Tim, $650 well spent. Only thing that will need to be changed on the setup is spring rates. Which are currently sitting at 290lbs front and 350lbs rear, it'll have to do for now.
Afterwards met up with Adam Jabaay and hung out with him and Tall Kyle. Helped work on the "pumpkin" Lemons build. More or less just sat around and helped whenever Adam needed an extra set of hands.
Shot back up to Wisconsin, stopped off in Racine. Picked up a new vacuum hose for my shop vac, as well as the much needed metal sheers. 2 hours on the highway later and finally finished off the removal of the rear seat.
The remains of the second half of the seat.

Re: 20CiviC02Si's "TK (Time Killer)" Project
Ran into an issue of removing the dirver side and passenger side restraint mechanisms. They are encased by the steel interior cross member. I attempted to remove driver side panel of it, and realized that the lower bolt just below the seat belt mechanism is pinned by the roll cage.
Now if i had the tools and space, i'd be able to get a cut off wheel and cut the head of the bolt off. However i don't.... So trying to button it all back up and wait until i have the tools to do it.
Removed the rear plastic deck lid and speakers. Looking into removing the whole rear deck assembly all together down the road. I'll have to relocate the wiring once this is accomplished.
Later going out to remove the rear seat belt mechanisms.
Looking forward to installing all of this! Need to get my r comps mounted in order to get the car aligned after the install.

Looks like you are making some great progress, Jake. Looking forward to running some more events together this season!
However, it might take me a while to get used to seeing your car sans door handle scraping body roll

Re: 20CiviC02Si's "TK (Time Killer)" Project
Well got the car back up in the air after centering it in the garage. Started working on removing the suspension from the car. Fronts came off with ease, however i can't say the same for the rear. Upon attempting to loosen the bolt that attaches the camber arm to the hub, the head of the bolt sheered off.
I really need to invest in some better tools. A handheld impact would have been awesome, probably wouldn't have sheered the bolt.
So now it's looking like i'll have to remove the entire rear trailing arm assembly in order to drill out the now headless bolt.

Also, i was told that that specific bolt is known for sheering off like this. Just makes it a pain in the *** because now i'll have spend an hour drilling it out, whenever i can get to it that is.

Stupid question, But why would they leave the rear seats in and put a roll cage through them??
Also good luck on the sound deadening removal, one of, if not the most annoying and time consuming jobs on my car.... but then again we don't have as much access to dry ice over here
