Removing glove box and heater core

The glove box hinge is fastened on with three bolts. Two broke while I was removing them. That will be a pain later. 

The heater core is bolted in with four bolts in the engine compartment. I think there is supposed to be another inside the glove compartment area, but that  bolt was missing on my car.

I’ve been working on the front passenger side frame rail.

Trunk clean out and fuel tank removal

Cleaned out the trunk. 

Removed this tubby full of random parts from back there. 
















Threw a coat of rust converter on the metal in the trunk.

And another coat.

Driver side front shock and spring removal

Pulled the driver side front shock and spring.

This job is nerve wracking. The spring has to be compressed a lot more than I am comfortable with, even with the correct tool for the job. I use an internal spring compressor not one of those janky external ones.
