Part two of the weekend was the start of the diet. We pulled the fiberglass headliner, the air conditioning unit, the quarter window regulators, some miscellaneous panels and the passenger seat. Every piece that came out was weighed and documented to track our progress. By the end of the first day we were down about 135 pounds. With the easy stuff done we moved on to the hard stuff…
All of the dynamat that we can reach is coming out… started with the roof… headed to the trunk… and then the rest of the cockpit.
This is about 25 pounds of dynamat… probably half of what we have coming out (give or take):
Before moving on we got some of the ‘bad news’… the slave cylinder had some really weird wear and the pilot bearing was equally bad.
It all lined up to a more serious transmission problem than we anticipated.
