Just another 86 mj

Finally got the bolt out.

 

 

Had to pull the ac compressor.

 

Is there a delete pulley for that or can I just get a smaller belt?

 

 

It looks like someone broke a bolt on the other side and tried to repair it. I ended up having to widen both holes and re-tap them.

 

It turned out well in the end. I finally painted the intake. I'll have to grab some pics tomorrow.

Sorry i havn't posted in a while. I've been working on other things.

I did start on the floor panels.

Here's the driver side.

Didn't look too bad. I sanded and grinded away all the surface rust. Repainted useing ruberized undercoating.

I also cut away all the carpet foam. I think it's sole purpose was to hold water against the metal.

 

Then I moved on to the passenger side. Which was a little worse.

Only one hole. In the front left corner. Doesn't look like it's going to be fun to patch.

I have this side about half cleaned up. The sanding wheel I was useing on my drill broke and I havn't bothered to fix it yet.

I'll try to post an update when I finally finish.

 

After replacing the transmission filter and fluid I have a leak. So I'll have to remove the pan and try to figure out what happened.

Your floor pans are the exact opposite of mine.  My passenger side is not too bad, my drivers side looked like your passenger side.

No delete pulley just a smaller belt ! It's looking good ! I had the t-stat bolts break on me years ago and had to enlarge them aswell and I just aquired a 2.8 Cherokee that there broke aswell

No worries on the delete pully. I found a video about converting it into an air compressor.

 

Also I got the passenger floor buttoned up today. Been sick, so I havn't been keeping up. I'll take some fully finished pics tomorrow.

 

 

I welded in the patches and then sealed them with silicone adhesive.

 

Still havn't heard anything about which oil pan gasket I need... any ideas?

[magealexstra]

Well the weld I put on the hinge broke off. So I'm at it again.

 

 

 

Can't I just leave it like this... lol while I have it off I should seriously consider the "removable door" mod.

[magealexstra]

Well, I'm not sure yet what happened. My engine decided to throw up all its oil into the bay and onto the ground.

 

 

 

Now I'm stranded at the gas station and it's starting to rain.

So lucky for me it was the oil pressure gauge line. The PO decided to route it through the exhaust manifold. Of course it melted. So after an hour of waiting in the car park for my friend to give me a ride. I was up and running again.
