Evening, gang.  Anyone want to help disassemble my old '02 MCS?  It's still at Dale's Maaco in Hampton.  The process is already ongoing; it's just been kinda slow.  I'm shooting for this Saturday again.  The forecast is calling for sunny weather with a temperature of 53 degrees.  We can see about going out for lunch afterward.  Thanks.

Count me in!

I'll bring my tools, Bentley manual, wet-dry vac, extension cord, and a pair of jackstands.

Any suggestion/preference for lunch afterwards?

Tomorrow's forecast is for sunny weather with a temperature of 52 degrees.  I'm going to bring a full-size low-level jack and see about getting some dollies for moving the Mini around.

Gonna remove primarily interior parts.  Next will be the suspension.  We're also slowly removing the engine/transmission.  This will most likely be last.

IF I can't  make it there tomorrow, what do you need in the way of tools or equipment ?  I may have to go to Denbigh to work on a rental property, but have tools, jacks, ect. ect. and live only about 10 min. away from the Macco location. Can drop off any thing that I have, that's needed, very easily in the morning.

All door and side panels are off, along with the dash.  Some of it I have hauled to the storage unit.  Erika brought her wet vac to get the water out (the plastic seal tape has slowly given in).  We're gonna see about getting another layer wrapped around the old '02 MCS in the next few days.  I picked up some wheel dollies to move the Mini around, as well as a low-level lightweight aluminum floor jack.

Only thing left is the seats and some of the dash.  After that, I need to work on getting the suspension off.  I'm going to keep the Hotchkis rear control arms, Alta front/rear end links, and the Alta solid casters.  However, I will be parting with the Dinan/Koni Stage 3 suspension kit (provided none of it is damaged from the accident).  This has adjustable struts, fixed camber plates in front with a 1.5 degree return, and the upgraded rear sway bar.  I'm going to take a different route whenever I get around to upgrading the suspension on my '06 MCS.  This kit is currently at $1,583.  I had about 81.7K miles on my '02 MCS when it was installed, so the suspension has about 33.5K miles on it.  I will sell it for $800.

Many thanks to Erika for helping me out.  And not forgetting Dale for storage.   023
