Today it was 60 degrees in New England! So I got a chance to work on the car some more. Before we did that, Chris got free shelves from a co-worker, which we set up in the garage. We finally organized the Triumph parts that have accumulated in numerous boxes and laid across the garage floor.
As for the car, Chris drained the clutch fluid and removed the clutch pedal from the car. He also took off the master cylinder, but left the slave clutch cylinder on the transmission, since it wouldn't be in our way when we tried to remove the body. Meanwhile, I removed the windshield wiper motor and WD-40-ed the heck out of the convertible top hinges and finally got the thing to collapse and open properly.
What's left to remove before the body can come off:
- brake line, fluid, pedal, etc.
- gas pedal
- some sort of air block under the dash
- steering wheel, shaft, mount
- wiring mounts attached to the body
...slowly getting there.
