In the garage

The garage was a complete mess, as I have never learned how to keep things uncluttered.      Maybe this project will help in that.

I got the car rolled into the garage and put the front up on jackstands.  The front jack points were rusted out, so I used the floor jack on the front tow hooks, and put the jackstands inboard on the car just aft of the engine.  I think that’s the subframe crossmember, but I’m not sure.  There was no creaking or groaning or deformation.  Some others use the front control arms for the jackstand point.  I think I’ll do same.

There was quite a controversy over on CRXcommunity about this topic.  I learned that I can jack from a point in the center of the car, just behind the front bumper, and get both wheels in the air at once.

So nothing much done on the car other than PB Blastering every nut I might need to take off in the engine compartment, and just poring over the car and matching up what I’m seeing with what I’m reading.

I’ll use the rear tow hook to lift the rear wheels.
