Blood's Project Abby, Looks like we're starting over... Options

After being a member of the board for years, I finally decided that my dd was on her last leg and it was time to pick up another one. So I found this little gem on craigslist...







I just took some pics of the full stable, I just need them to load up to photobucket.

Oh I forgot to mention, Abby's a little bit broke...

Alright, so I haven't updated this is a minute, but since the last time some stuff has happened....

On my way to my college graduation, the clutch went out on me.... So a clutch job in 10*F was fun....

My two babies in the same garage! (it doesn't happen often)


We pulled the motor to get to the trans since we were having issues with frozen cross member bolts. Harness unplugged from inside the car and pulled through the firewall.




Hood off, check. Though we put it on top of the car rather than on the floor for fear of our friend's Australian Shepherd.




Cherry picker, check.





I decided that 1 human power was momentarily better than a 5sfe's horsepower.





So the throwout bearing has been clicking for over a year, and we thought it finally grenaded itself. But once we got the trans apart, here is what we found.







Check out those awesome springs!






So, we come to find that the clutch disc threw a spring. The spring itself snapped into four separate pieces, which is what I'm holding in my hand. That was our problem. Surprisingly, the throwout bearing was still intact. In any case, it all got replaced.
