            well the rear discs are coming along nice and slow.
            so here are some cell phone pics.


            the amount of rust



            stuburn bolt, which is still there!!!!!!!!



            the experiment with evapo-rust after i wire wheeled the hell out of it.





            after soaking for about 2 or 3 days. i pulled it out each day to see if all rust was gone. ie the areas i couldnt get to with the wire wheel.



            ready for painting

            poof its painted!!!!!

            my hand has been smurfed

                Bolt Broke My Table Clamp!!!!!!

                So When I Did My Engine Rebuild My Origanal Table Clamp Broke Because Of A Bolt. Well I Got A Used One That Was Better Made. So I Put The Rear Hub In It So I Can Get The Stupid 12" Bolt Out. Well I Took 3 Wacks At It And The Clamps Base Broke In Half. I Barely Hit The Dang Thing. So Thats 2 Clamps In 1 Year. Im Getting A Big One This Time. Or At Least 1 That I Cant Break So Easy.

                        i torched the heck out of it and to no avail. i torched it 7+ times and nothing. so i found some spindles at the yard for pretty cheap.

                        so i looked up prices on carpart .com and found that a yard up north has 1 off a tracer and 1 off a escort but the weird part is that the tracer 1 is 35$ and the escort 1 is 20$. wtf? also found out that 93-98 spindles are the same for the protege. and the protege spindle is 40-50$.
                        also a 91-97 escorts work. and 91-96 tracers too.
                        im finding this so weird.

                                I worked at a wrecking yard for a few years. My advice: Get it red hot, then pour cold water on it. The thermal shock will help you break it free. Sounds to easy to work, but it usually works every time. If not swear at it, then chuck it LOL
