    oh I shall, if its not rainning and dark out, I will see if I can snap some updated pics of the MX and how its coming along.

    In a while, once I get things sorted out, I will probably have a huge post of crap forsale over on MX-3.com of v6 parts that I have left over... of course you guys get first dibs here... not that they are all the desireable anyways...

        lol, doesnt that tend to destroy the axle in the process?

        Sadly I might have to do that in the end

              Well if you have to destory the axles, just take em apart at the CV joint at the tranny, makes it a lot easier to take out if you can't get the axles out. A friend and I had to do that on his Escort LX-E.

                what really sux is that fact that the motor wont come out of the top b/c the axles hit the frame rails, and it wont drop out of the bottom w/o me having to remove the radiator and all of that crap.

                bah... pics to follow of the destruction.

                      oops meant to put a question mark instead of period . post edited. I know on my buddies escort lxe that's what we had do to. If i remember correctly (this was like 6-7 years ago when we did this) it actually came apart pretty easily once you get the boot off.

                        gotcha.... I guess I will split the boot open and see if I can break it @ the joint.

                        thx for the input.

                            I am ordering some SS pipes to make my own down pipe, exhaust, and IC hardpipes...

                            motor crane..... 80 bux
                            pipe bender..... 80 bux

                            I have been hunting for good deals here lately....

                            I even got a good deal the other day on air tools.... impact, air hammer, blower, tool oil, 4 different air hammer tips, all in a nice carry case for only 40 bux.
