Disassembly of 1067689 started back in June of 2002, Bumpers, headlights, seats, etc. But the motor was removed Late January 2003.


What you are looking at is the back of the right side of the motor at where the front tin SHOULD be, but is missing.


Grafitti on the rear apron?


It reads: Point .016 - Pl(u)g .24
It's a Tune-up guide where he can't lose it!


it was a tight squeeze with the apron crunched, but it finally came out.


Notice: Bondo is NOT the cure-all of bodywork.


Whew, well it's out. Obviously a later motor, probably 1300?
I'm guessing, cause I'm not going into the motor to spec it.
