So today was the day that the engine had to be extracted from the old girl
Now its been sitting underneath a car cover for the last 3 months, and ive been thinking to myself and have been tempted with many cars that were cheaper and in better condition, a major one of late was a galant wagon, it just made sense in my head as it would be more practical for what i do, so then i figured, i hadn't seen the underside of the car, i will let the condition of the floor pan decide whether this car stays or goes as in reality any more rust than is visible and it would cost way to much to fix it. so ive been stewing on that the last few days and all morning, and to my surprise after rolling the car into the shed, the floor pan is mint, so decision made i will just stick it out with the external repairs
And to make things even better, i walked out, put a battery in it, turned the key and away it went, drove it back up around and into the shed for the extraction.

Sister doing her part to get the motor out (she would want to help, she is getting the motor for free
)
