So, some more work happened!
I put the rear up in the air:
And removed the engine :
And the started to investigate..
Found some rust here at the bottom of the firewall :
And what looked like a "sh**ty fix" for the clutch cable tube:
Is worse than that..the tube just moves freely like that!!
And the big question.. The hell hole.. Well, when I bought it, I couldn't disassemble much so I checked with my hand - no holes - and tried with a screwdriver-everything robust.. So I thought to be safe..
Then I checked after engine removal:
And after a better check with my screwdriver..
Here is what I found:
A real disaster:
But I am not a guy that let something like that discorage himself. So I need to remove my battery tray to check further and make my plan.. But before that, and before probably destroying the old one by disassembling.. I built the replacement one:
Check with the battery and the fixation sandblasted:
And the bottom part:
Ready to go after the hell hole repair:
Stay tuned!
