Ac caps - yes  :)
CDL motor....  :-/
I guessed you have higher priorities than cdl motor, so no hurry.  Mine often works, just intermittent...

That's not so much the issue... the problem is, that I only have one breaker left... and the drivers side is parked right up against a wall... so I can't get the doorcard etc off.... I can't start the car due to lack of several engine components.... so I need some means of dragging it over ;D
Angle grinder on door card ::)

(I was joking ;))

Well, if I could get the compressor in there to power it, then not a problem :)

Although, I can see me probably prising and hacking the door card away to get at it..... as soon as I've got my engine bits off it... that car's going to be crushed.....
No more goodies worth recovering :o

I think it's mostly all in the engine bay now to be honest.... although the CATS are coming off... for spares...as is the passenger side exhaust mid-section (which is nearly new)... as the one on the Elite makes an awful HISS under acceleration....

While you're in stripping mood  :o ...

I'm after some trivial bits. Don't suppose you've got the plastic clips that hold the driver's side panel under the dash on?

They're little round plastic affairs that push in and then turn 90 degrees to lock.

Cheers,


Kevin

Cam cover back on, passenger plugs changed, inlet back on.  Just stopped for a bite to eat.

Just need to change drivers side plugs, and pop the plenum back on.  Sealant should have set by then, so fire it up and check...
