April 22, 2011 - Here's one of the reasons I was having so much trouble getting any progress made on the car.
When I disassemble a car, I bag all the fasteners and label the bag. Driveshaft bolts go in a bag, front suspension bolts go in a bag, etc. I didn't take the car apart this time. The person who did simply dumped all the fasteners in various coffee cans and boxes. I spent a ridiculous amount of time sifting through them trying to find the one special bolt used to attach the main power feed to the cut-off switch, for example. I never did find the ones for the steering rack.
It takes just a little bit longer to do it right, but it saves so much time overall!
