I told you I was getting all of those windows out... one way or another.

before



after



sanded up all of the pillars to find the yellow brick road.



then the main event, the rear window...




this seemed like a really solid and good idea, about 10 pulls in each direction, cord died. The silicon back here is fucking mad thick, so much so I took a godamned fancy ass steak knife to it to see if it would make quick work of the silicone, and it caused me to yank the handle clean off of the knife (not pictured.)

So I thought about it, and said nah probably not a good idea. The said to myself, I've always wanted to do this, lets see what happens.

So I took my mini sledge, and tapped the upper left hand corner of the window, seriously I mean tapped it and well...



The fucking window exploded, like a loud ass BOOM and the passenger upper corner just flew all over my garage, FUCKING BAD ASS!!! It sounded like a bowl of rice crispies for 30 minutes.

snap crackle pop, snap crackle pop.

I've never broken a window before, much less an automotive one so I didn't know what to expect. So I just took the longest object I had, put on safety goggles and tapped away.




seriously, that was so much fucking awesome.

sorry I'm easily amused.

packed the garage up for the night.

tomorrow I sand, and well.... vacuum.

Thursday : throwing stones in a glasshouse

Word is bond... bong... out here in the front chillin, flippy floppies, under armor shirt, n/e fitted, taking the fucking interior out of the car again. sigh.

I am determined to take all of the rear glass out today, that is my fucking mission, if I break the rear windshield, fuck it I got another.... Tripple C's, get monay... baaaawwwwwssssssss. trilllllaaaaaaaaaa.

anyway.



My mother didn't have anything better to do today (retired) so I made her bring me a box of sandwich bags with labels on them so I can start putting away my parts and keep them fresh.

mad thirsty out here.



shits supposed to be pomegranate, orange, peach, green tea. But the shit just tastes like cucumber juice watered down. ugh, not satisfying at all.



after ripping out the rear interior and bagging misc items I decided to try tackling removing the rear mirrors on the side. From the inside of the car it didn't look so hard, so I started here and little by little (I DID NOT PRY)



I let the heat gun do the work while the screwdriver was just there to lift the mirror from the silicone on the body. About 15 minutes later.



bam.



I didn't break it, and didn't dent the pillars, holla.



I got my sars mask and glasses on now, sanding down the end of the pillars to expose the spot welds I will need to drill out to remove this roof panel and also to determine where I will cut into the pillar to remove the roof skin.



fuck this is taking forever.



almost there, now you can see all of the spot welds I will need to drill out...

well what do you know, under the paint, primer, yada yada there is a gold line that pretty much lets you know where to cut. I wish I knew how they did that, so neat. Metal dye maybe? I dunno but that's the mid day build update, going to eat me some lunch, drink this cucumber water, and head back out to rip off the rear window.

peace.

w.e.

Wednesday

I slept literally all day, I woke up at 4pm due to my phone ringing... I've been doing two a days at the gym recently (going in the morning, and again at night.) and working on the car in between.

I think it finally caught up with my body and knocked me on my ass.

So no updates on the car, however I saw this video and it is so godamned fucking hilarious that I had to share it.
