to disassemble a whole 92 Gt? i bought a wrecked one, and am gonna strip all the useable parts off of it, and i do mean all.
I work on them all the time, so I know the ins and outs. I can have one done in one afternoon by myself. I hate when people help, because it takes longer. The only thing is though....I have air tools and a hoist. I also have grinders and torches.....but I do NOT cut anything I don't have to. I unbolt everything because I always need parts for other cars. The only thing I will cut is say a brake line that won't come apart, or a pesky K-frame or control arm bolt.
i tore down a 92 GT that was t boned on the driver's side fender in about 6 hours by myself using mostly hand tools. i did have a hoist and a few air tools too though. the interior was already mostly gone, but i pulled motor, trans, rearend, sideskirts, rear bumper, hatch/spoiler/tail lights, interior quarter panels, doors, FUEL AND BRAKE LINES and other misc little things here and there. if you've ever seen me post pics of a multi colored 4 cyl conversion coupe i built, the red doors on it were off of the GT as well as the motor, rear, fuel and brake lines.
That’s impressive too!! It would probably take me forever since I would want to keep track of every bolt I take off of the car. I did a motor swap on my friends hatch.. We took apart the entire front end, bumper, fenders, hood, engine, k-member and everything else. Took us an entire weekend to disassemble. Must be easier if ur not planning on reassemble.
hah yeah i was just pulling stuff for stockpile. i eventually put some of the parts on a car, but at the time of tear down, i wasn't really concerned with keeping things in order. just trying not to break stuff. lol
Thanks....well I am personally working one my 11th Mustang. I have worked on countless Mustangs for work...Disassembly, reassembly, and scraping out. It used to take me longer but now I know what size every nut and bolt is, where they are. I don't have to mark anything in baggies, I just throw everything in a bog bucket or box. But this took me time and practice.
well, i plan on selling some stuff locally. or ebaying it, so i am gonna put it all in little plastic ziploc bags, i won't have air tools, but i am gonna borrow a cherry picker from a friend, after i pull all the fuel, brake lines, and other stuff underneath, i will pull the rearend out(if i din't have it on blocks) and then proceed to cut the front piece off in front of the firewall, i am gonna leave all the front suspension together just cut it off to move it around
Leave the K-frame and all susp together...good idea. It is pretty worthless parts seperated. You could sell the whole set up to a guy putting together a AC Cobra kit car...I sell all those parts to those guys. Keep al you calipers and blex hoses attached too. ALSO: Make sure you keep the fuel lines in tact from the tank to the engine fuel rail. These are HARD to find, and many guys going from a 4cyl to 8cyl....are in desperate need for them!!! You could get big money for them Another thing to save...(you cannot get new) is the A/C lines. I once bought a COMPLETE grey interior for a fox body from a swap meet for $40 bucks. The same guy had A/C lines...(condensor to evap canister, and compressor to evap canister. I figured he would want pennies for them...NO...he told me $100 firm!!! I passed...I didn't need them, I just wanted tehm...
yeah, i could use some, but with my schedule how it is right now, i am just gonna have to work it in, it is according to when i can work on it, i was gonna try to borrow marcus's impact, and sockets, and just borrow some of my dads air hoses(it is probably a good 300-400 Feet from a compressor at least) plus it's my grandparents next door neighbours compressor(car is hidden back behind my grandparents house) i'll let you know something though kenny, you gonna be at TV friday?
the guy who i bought it from(the guy who wrecked it) cut some stuff(no wires though) and he managed to cut the rubber part of the fuel lines(i am gonna get some for free off of another car though) i am pretty sure they were not damaged in the wreck anyways, all of the a/c stuff is there except for the condensor and condensor lines
what's funny is i am trying to clean up, and move stuff out of my room so i can bring the interior and put it in it, i am gonna put all the wiring in one of those big plastic tubs, and some of the other little stuff, i will probably roll the front suspension, and rearend close to my brothers 51 F1, and maybe put some of the parts in the bed(if they fit), and move the motor/tranny to a guy from my church's shop
