That was a California car wasn't it? 50% of them come apart easy.

Normally I'd be suprised that a Canadian car came apart that easy but so far mines been so easy I'm almost scared. Haven't gotten to the front suspension yet. If it's the same as the rest of the car it should be fine.


( of coarse now that I said that I can almost hear the bolts rusting out in the garage. lol )

i worked on the principal that IF i had new cam bolts etc laying around in the garage it would all come apart easy ....if i didnt have new parts it would have been hard ....
worst part about stripping my car down has been the breaking of 2 hard brake lines :) easy and cheap to fix '
