Our Triple Square Driver set arrived and we got the head removed. Now it was time for milestone #1…the removal of the petrol powered engine. I will say that this was no easy feat. We had to move in baby steps, inch by excruciating inch, in lowering this thing to the floor. It was hard work, and we had to keep readjusting the jacks and the engine. Unfortunately, Tamera didn’t realize that the camera’s batteries died, so we lost much of this segment. This footage would have probably made a good bloopers segment. Four different times we thought we had it only to find out there were more bolts that seemed to magically appear out of thin air each time. At one point, when Tamera was helping guide the engine from the top as I was lowering from the bottom, the engine unexpectedly shifted and halfway pulled her into the car with it.

After much work, we finally got it out, and started getting the car cleaned up. When all was said and done we must have went through 4 or 5 cans of degreaser. It was a messy job, but well worth the end result.
