I find the parts for Jimmy

I have found a perfect parts car which has PMD seats, Turbocasts and a 305 Engine but it's been sitting a lonnnng time and is in bad shape.

If I can get the rims and emissions gear I will be good to go. The seats are black and a bit ripped so I am going to pass on those. He wants 1k for the whole car but I have no where to store it so I took the emissions equipment and rims for $700. I think it's a good deal. The emissions gear looks "ok". Take a look at the engine and you'll see its pretty rough we'll see what Jimmy says.

It took 3 hours to get all of the gear off. I used the ratchet wrench set and adjustable wrench the most, but the stars of the show were the magnetic screw dish, the mechanics gloves and the magnetic pole which I used to save some otherwise hard to reach screws after they were out.

In fact the ONLY items i didn't use at all from this previous post when taking it apart were

* The cable ties
* The extendable mirror
* The electrical tape

And i kind of bought at least 2 of those to put stuff ON. So maybe i did buy all of the right stuff after all :-)

The valve covers were the worst, not the screws, but maneuvering them out without removing a ton of parts was tricky. However I now have EVERY part.

I think.
