Re: [FWDLK] I thought they shoot horses!



I have to say the $300 digital camara  I bought was well worth every penny.
I probably have hundreds of pictures of the disassembly process. Along with
my own child like rudementary sketches, scribbled in a notebook that i kept
near the car. Every nut, boly and clip (well almost every) was put in an
envelope and labeled.  All larger parts were tagged.
Of course there will be parts that i have no record of, thats just
murphey's law but at least im giving him a good fight.  I'll let you all
know how it works once i start putting it back together.

I hear that!

My DeLorean was a case in point. (http://www.projectvixen.com)

Even if you're only taking it apart for "a little while", taking a few
pictures and labeling parts properly makes reassembly a whole lot
easier...

John is correct on this. Any thing taken apart should be noted and anything we think we can remember, we can't!!!!, so we need to note all things including taking photo's. And the parts book and service manuel are most valuable. Jack in Shinglehouse, Pa
