Such a good guy to help! That's a fair bit of travel and work Eric. Did you consider the more valuable items on the 3.2 scrapper like ABS pump assembly, throttle body or modules...they would really benefit this guys fleet. The engine & transmission is something I would have dropped out, but I guess time wasn't there.

The car was in such an absolute deplorable overall state, with an overcooked engine, that I wondered of the condition of many items.
It must have been really hot under the bonnet, all plastic items kind of snapped or crumbled the moment we touched them.
Besides, we took the first car apart in the basement of a rather expensive apartment complex, and I did not dare to flood the floor with all kind of coolants and oils.
For the next cars, we will have a proper place to wrench, and the whole drive line and suspension is on the list for those, plus some others .
Still we removed the TB and the ABS pump from this one, along with some other engine parts, and having an other 4 spare cars with ZJ26 and AJ27 engines in much better condition, there will be plenty of parts to come.
Finally, just to say how much I learned on these cars from this fantastic forum.
I luckily have had very little issues on my own car, but going through these part-cars, it feels I know everything, just because I read about all of it on here for the last 5 years.
A great thanks to its contributors which make this forum such a great place!
