Part 2
Saturday - Damage assessment
Up early and let's get this hog apart to see all the glittery chunks.
Dawe's Motorsports Development is 2 (dare I say 3?) doors down from Joe's shop.
Peter offered to consult on the trans, so we lugged the gearbox over to Peter's shop and started teardown.
The R&P were good.
The gears were good. (More on this later)
The case parts were good.
That's about it. Joe and Peter and I discussed our options and then I called Kelly.
She made the decision that putting a match to the car wasn't the best option and that we'd be fine. We (she) set a budget and I started cleaning all the trans bits (good and bad) for a detailed inspection scheduled for the following morning.
SUNDAY
Peter made me a list of 'most' of the bits that would be required for a rebuild. He also went through his parts rooms and pulled what he had so we could order the difference.
My nausea continued.
Joe's in-laws had invited us all to dinner, so we did that and had a generally really great time.
On the way back, I spied a limb leaning into the road that hadn't been there when we drove up. I saw the big, dark blob in the middle, but couldn't identify the blob until we were right on top of it.
This is why the pilgrims wore those high collars. To protect their necks from airborne attack porcupines. Cool cap to the day despite its ominous beginning.
The week begins.
I lose track of the days here. Peter has a track day and the subsequent prep. Joe has a bunch of work to do. Parts need to arrive. Forgive me if I don't have a detailed timeline for the next several/many pics.
First box of parts arrives
Dissasembly of gear stacks begins
Second gear dog teeth carnage
Stay tuned. We're still picking up steam.
