Saffron Investigations and Reorientation

I moved the cars so I can get started on the swap.

I started to pull stuff off the saffron car. It was a real pain to pull the radiator because it was smashed between the frame rails. I has to pry metal back to remove it.

I also did some more investigating of the saffron. It has a k&n air filter and SS brake lines.

The front sway bar is about 22mm so it’s stock. The rear sway bar is about 23mm vs my awd being about 20mm. Ipd lists their bars at 25mm front and 23mm rear.

I have waiting for the project:

-Castrol 0w40 European formula synthetic motor oil

-coolant

-oil filter

-lower radiator hose

-intake gasket

-exhaust gaskets

-transmission fluid (The fluid in the silver car is dirty and needs changed but not burnt.)

Most likely need:

-spark plugs

-cap and rotor

-75w90 synthetic gear oil for angle gear and rear.

Right now I’m just trying to get the car on the road reliably. I don’t have the time or the money to do a bunch of extras as much as I would like to do everything at once.
